Hello,

L Pod, well at least some of them, joined the J's yesterday afternoon in the waters off San Juan Island. For some of these whales it is their first time back since last year. They were mixing and mingling throughout the night and I was fortunate to catch up with them this morning. We got some great video and a handful of pictures, including this one of the J17 and her two daughters. It is the second time this summer that I got the whole subpod in one frame. I also got a nice photograph of the larger bull L57 babysitting, (or is it playing?) with the pec slapping J35.




Word also arrived that K Pod is coming in from Johnstone Strait, bringing some other L Pod whales with them.

Looks like the 4th of July will be a big whale holiday.
