4-21-2021 Transient Orcas

 April 20 and 21

The T090s and T049A3

Tuesday, April 20 - Just a few looks of them as they crossed the top of San Juan Channel and entered Spieden Channel, which they later circumnavigated.




Wednesday, April 21  - They stayed in the area!  On this day they were spotted in Spieden Channel and instead of circumnavigating Spieden Island like they did yesterday, this time when they came west in Spieden Channel they turned south between Henry Island and Roche Harbor and continued through Mosquito Pass exiting into Open Bay, just outside of Snug Harbor.  Very slowly, taking long dives, they continued south in Haro Strait, at first somewhat close to shore.

I was watching this harbor seal who was very focused on what was going on out there.  Was it the amount of boats, barely moving that caused this intent watching or was it because the seal knew there were orcas out there?
