It has been busy and not busy - busy with many visitors, seeing long- time friends, oh, and the WHALES! However, it is a worrisome time and continues to be. One reason is the lack of their food - salmon which means they have had many days absent from the inland waters.
Spyhop !

I always like getting images of people on the shore watching the whales.
-Up in the tower waiting for more Lighthouse visitors to come up those stairs, he scans - always alert and ready!!
It is hoped salmon will be returning in September bringing in the SRKWs.
In the meantime there have been Transient orcas just about 'everywhere'.
They don't eat salmon.
They eat seals, sea lions, and porpoise.
And seals, sea lions and porpoise eat salmon.
