Transients usually have a somewhat mournful sound to their calls. This time was different.
Were there some youngsters in the group?
Had they just 'prepared a meal'?
Had they just finished a meal?
Were they a group or part of a group who aren't within hydrophone range very often? Or some who had not been in these waters before?
I don't know, but it's fun to wonder!
San Juan Channel and whales...hmmm...Transients maybe?
You just never know until you see...
Now at the Lime Kiln, in 'wait mode'...and in the meantime - WOW!
