A Thanksgiving Treat!

This afternoon we were out to what seemed to be a quiet Strait. But it definitely became alive when we encountered a 'superpod' of resident killer whales. We were lucky enough the rain subsided and then to be completely surrounded by these salmon-loving orca's. We had a large group simultaneously surfacing with the large male residents Faith (L-57) and Ruffles (J-1). They displayed playful, feeding, and resting behaviors; this is the incredible thing about viewing these animals surviving in their natural habitat.
