March 2nd, 2022: A New Calf in J Pod!

Date: March 2, 2022

Media Release: For immediate release

From: Center for Whale Research

Subject: Another New Calf in J Pod!

On March 1, we welcomed the meteorological first day of spring and a new calf in J Pod!

We received word that J Pod was nearby (off Landbank, San Juan Island), and there was possibly a new addition to the Southern Resident orca family.

​

The Center for Whale Research's (CWR) photo-ID expert, Dave Ellifrit, found the whales near Kelp Reef and confirmed the new addition to J pod. The calf was next to J37, with J47 and J40 nearby. CWR field staff last saw J37 during Encounter #12 on February 11, 2022, and she did not have a calf at that time. We estimate this baby was born within the past few days, given its "lumpy" physical nature.

​

Dave captured images of J37 with her new baby traveling in a tight group with other family members. CWR designates this newborn: J59. J59's sex is unknown at this time. Its size and shape are typical of a calf in good physical condition.

J59 is the first calf born into J Pod since September 2020, when J41 gave birth to J58 (female).

​

The new mother, J37 (born 2001), is part of the J14 matriline and has two siblings, J40 (female, born 2004) and J45 (male, born 2009). She was a young mother, only 11 years old when she gave birth to her first calf in 2012: J49 (male).

*Long sigh* 

Alright guys. I’m here with an angry post about this. Please bear with me. 

[x] This is a map of the Columbia Watershed. The Snake River is highlighted in yellow, the Columbia in blue. 

[x] This is a map of the dams on the Columbia and the Snake. Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day, and McNary are on the Columbia. Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, Little Goose, and Lower Granite are on the Snake. 

On February 6, 2021, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) proposed a " $33 billion infrastructure and community investment strategy that would breach the four lower Snake River dams and reorder much of the fish, energy and commodity transportation systems of the Pacific Northwest.” 

[x]

Good news, right?

Yeah, it’s great news until you get to the part about the time frame. 

“If turned into legislation, passed and implemented according to Simpson’s timeline, Lower Granite Dam would be breached in the summer of 2030 and the river that was swallowed by slackwater 55 years earlier would reemerge. The breaching of Little Goose, Lower Monumental and Ice Harbor dams would follow and the entire stretch of the river would return to its free-flowing state by 2031.“ That’s NINE YEARS. 9. N-I-N-E. The Southern Residents can barely find enough food now. There’s no way they’ll last 9 years and still be an even barely viable population (not that they’re a strong, viable population at the moment anyways). 

Lets go over everyone who died from 2010-2020. 10 years, approximately how many years it will be for the river to be free flowing.

Twenty-nine dead. Sixteen of these deaths were under the age of 40. Twelve were males, two were unknown genders, fifteen were females. 

Now, lets look at the births that survived within that same time frame (2010-2020).

J58 (Crescent), Gender unknown, born to J41 (Eclipse), her second calf, September, 2020

J57 (Phoenix), Male, born to J35 (Tahlequah), her third calf, September, 2020

J56 (Tofino) Female, born to J31 (Tsuchi), her first calf, May, 2019

L124 (Whistle) Gender unknown, born to L77 (Matia), her third calf, January, 2019

L123 (Lazuli) Male born to L103 (Lapis), her first calf, November, 2015

J53 (Kiki) Female born to J17 (Princess Angeline), her fourth calf, October, 2015

L122 (Magic) Male born to L91 (Muncher), her first calf, September, 2015

L121 (Windsong) Male born to L94 (Calypso), her second calf, February, 2015

J51 (Nova) Male born to J41 (Eclipse), her first calf, February, 2015

J49 (Tilem l’nges) Male born to J37 (Hy'shqa), her first calf, August, 2012

L119 (Joy) Female born to L77 (Matia), her first calf, May, 2012

K44 (Ripple) Male born to K27 (Deadhead), her first calf, July, 2011

L118 (Jade) Female born to L55 (Nugget), her fourth calf, January, 2011

L117 (Keta) Male born to L54 (Ino), her second calf, December, 2010

L116 (Finn) Male born to L82 (Kasatka), her first calf, October, 2010

L115 (Mystic) Male born to L47 (Marina), her third calf, August, 2010

K43 (Saturna) Female born to K12 (Sequim), her third calf, February, 2010

J47 (Notch) Male born to J35 (Tahlequah), her first calf, January, 2010

Eighteen were born and survived (to this point when I’m posting this- February 10, 2021). Eleven are males, two are unknown genders, five are females. 

Now, we’ve lost 15 females over the course of 10 years and have only gained FIVE in that same time period.

Now that we’ve looked at the births and deaths, lets look at the current living population, shall we?

J pod has 10 adult females, (2 post-reproductive); 3 young females; 2 adult males; 8 young males; 1 unknown gender.

K pod has 7 adult females (2 post-reproductive); 1 young female; 7 adult males; 2 young males.

L pod has 15 adult females (5 post-reproductive); 3 young females; 6 adult males; 9 young males; 1 unknown gender. 

Total Males: 15 adult, 18 juvenile

Total Females: 23 reproductive, 9 post reproductive, 7 juvenile 

Total Unknown Genders: 2

Now, that may seem like a good number of females, but we have to keep in mind that they need to produce healthy, living, viable, FEMALE calves to keep this population growing. While all calves are loved and cherished in this population, we need more females. This population is on a downhill trend that can NOT LAST NINE YEARS WITHOUT ENOUGH FOOD.  “When the whales starve, their pregnancies fail. Southern Resident females used to give birth once every five years, just like females in other killer whale populations. But their average birth frequency has dropped to about once every ten years.“ [x]

For anyone who still might not be getting the picture, here. I have a picture for you. This is the population census that the Center for Whale Research updates on December 31 and July 1 each year. 

[x] Do you see the trend? It’s falling. This population was decimated by the capture era (1960s-1970s) and is now continuing to struggle FIFTY YEARS LATER. 

Another point: Reducing whale watching will NOT HELP. Whale watching companies help keep recreational boaters away from the whales and help inform them on the laws. They also report sightings and help keep population tabs. If a whale isn’t looking good, they can report that. If they didn’t see a whale for multiple encounters in a row and the CWR hasn’t been able to get out with them, they can let CWR know. This is a community effort, tracking and monitoring the SRKW. Whale Watch boats also ensure that, when Sound Watch (which mostly operates off the West side of San Juan Island) is not around, that local recreational boaters follow the Be Whale Wise guidelines and keep their distance from the Southern Residents. 

“The Southern Residents pulled through the shooting era and pulled through the capture era, but if Ken is right, they will not pull through the conservation era. They are long-lived animals, so they will still be here—yet they will be gone...“We’re at the point—we’re past the point—of no return.”“ [x]

I appreciate Rep. Mike Simpson’s efforts to try to breach the Lower Snake River Dams, but the time to act is now. We are watching extinction happen before our very eyes. Breach the dams in 2021! NO FISH, NO BLACKFISH! “What will we lose if we let the Southern Residents go extinct?” “Our minds.” [x]

Anacortes

With the warm summer weather settling in this week, life in the Salish sea has been grand. Today we headed down Rosario strait and took a cruise through Castle rock and Lopez island. Here we found dozens of pigeon guillemots, a turkey vulture and a cute little raccoon scurrying along the waters edge on Castle rock. From there we expanded our search into the strait of Juan de Fuca and began to search the shallow bakes that lay to the west. We found large groups of birds at Salmon bank and soon we had a few minor whales surrounding the boat. We got some great looks before moving on to False bay and joining up with Jpod orca whales! We hung out with members of the J11 and J16 sub pods and had an amazing time with them. We even got to see a few of the youngsters in the group breach multiple times for us! After enjoying Jpod we headed back east to Whale rocks where we found a bunch of cormorants and harbor seals hauled out and drying off. We headed inner island from there through San Juan channel and Peavine pass eventually ending up at Cypress island under Eagle bluff. Here we found two adult bald eagles just by coincidence which was a great cap to the day! We headed around Cypress island and down Bellingham channel returning through Guemes channel after an amazing adventure in the Salish sea!

Port Angeles

The sky threatened rain all around us but lucky for us the rainshadow kept all the droplets at bay. We took a look at the submarine escort ships on the way out of the harbor and had one of the coast guard helicopters warming up on the tarmac. A large amount of harbor seals were hauled out at ediz hook then we were off out into the straits westward bound. A few snow covered mountains peaked out through the Elwha Valley. We spotted a few harbor porpoise by the elwha river.We traveled west until we found the herd of humpbacks that have been hanging out feeding for the last few days. They were doing deeper dives today as the food source was deeper in the water column. We found many old friends out here including BCZ0298 Split Fin and BCX1057 Divot. BCX 1358 Frankenstein was with MMX0012 Tulip and her new 2020 calf. We moved on to another group as there were whales everywhere as far as we could see. The next group contained a whale we know as MMX0084 Scuttle. There were many groups all feeding and then splintering off to feed with another group. Among the others we could identify were Titan, Hornet and Stitch. We had an incredible day watching all these whales and even got some better looks at Tulips new calf as he?she played alongside mom even doing a cartwheel once. It was a long run to get out to the whales but well worth it and now it was time to head home. We slowly departed and made our way back towards Port Angeles. Not far from home we came across another whale we know as Yogi. We got a few good looks before continuing on passing many Rhinocerous auklets before heading into the harbor.The day ended with at least 20 humpback whales under our belt not a bad way to spend the day.
