Adult female T037A in the foreground and an unidentified calf behind her. . This was taken June 30, 2019 just north of Race Rocks, off the coast of Victoria, B.C. We hung out with them for a little while and got two close passes by our boat, but the whales were not particularly active nor were they terribly interested in the boats. Judging by their swimming pattern and their longer dive times, they could have either been hunting, or just spending time together as a family. . The former is very likely, however, as the waters surrounding the San Juan Islands and British Columbia have been full of the preferred prey of Transient Orca lately - Seals, Sea Lions, Harbor Porpoises, Grey Whales, Humpback Whales, etc. Having such a high concentration of prey available also explains why there have been so many successful pregnancies and births within the Transient population within the past few years. . #salishsea #pugetsound #sanjuan #britishcolumbia #pacificnorthwest #pnw #transient #transientorca #killerwhale #orca #orcinusorca #blackfish #mammaleaters #victoria #racerocks #calf #t037a #t37 #whale #wildlife #marinelife #marine https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz2fY9hHlyl/?igshid=g0uykld3vt6j

Posted @withregram • @eclipse_j41 Amazing day out yesterday with the T46s, T137s, and the T60s. I was able to see cute little T60G for the first time yesterday along with getting to see a very curious T46D Strider. • • • #transientkillerwhale #transientorcas #biggskillerwhales #orca #killerwhale #blackfish #orcawhale #cetacean #dolphin #whale #sea #ocean #sji #sanjuanisland #fridayharbor #pnw #pacificnorthwest #salishsea #wild #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #wildandfree #nofishnoblackfish https://ift.tt/39M7sas

Via @marinewildlifetourism Credit © 📷 ✅ @yourtofino Transient killer whales in the waters of the Pacific Northwest are often referred to as the 'Bigg's Killer Whales'. They were named after Dr Michael Bigg who has fundamentally shaped modern killer whale research. The photo ID techniques we apply today, looking at dorsal fin and saddle patch to tell individuals part, were developed by Bigg and his team in the 1970s which was pretty much revolutionary. He also initiated the first orca census which, during that time, was quite unique since this hasn't been done with any other wild animal before. Unfortunately Bigg passed long before his time, but his legacy still remains which is reflected in the animals he studied as well as scholarships and a nature reserve that is world-famous for it's pebble beaches where orcas frequently gather to get a good rub.

Credit © 🎞 ✅ @thejourney_and_thedestination ✒ ~~~ “Happiness is...”~~ . Orca and infinity fog❣️❣️ . . Happy Earth Day! Such a beautiful world! Much to be thankful for, but so much work to do to encourage others to conserve all that shares the earth with us, or rather what and who we share the earth with. Let’s do our best to protect it for generations to come. 💙 . On this foggy morning we were just outside of Port McNeill and we found 17, yes 17!!!, transient orcas! Captain Bill stayed with this sprouter male so that I could capture his beauty along with this unique wispy fog formation. Absolutely magical! 💫🙏🏻💖 . Trying to think of my favorite places and nature’s finest whilst in quarantine. Can’t wait to get back out on the water this summer with #mackaywhalewatching 😍 #staypositive #thistooshallpass . . . #earthday #earth #naturelovers #canada #beautifulbc #vancouverisland #bcisbeautiful #animalplanet #liveyouradventure #wildlifeplanet #emptythetanks #wildlifephotography #orca #blackfish #nofishnoblackfish #transientorcas #killerwhales #staywild #wildlifeconservation #wildlifefriend #hellobc #travel #foggymorning #beautifuldestinations #savetheocean #stayhome #covid_19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VBt4uAUKc/?igshid=6twoiqnmmnjg
