This morning our tours headed straight for San Juan Island following a report of transient Killer Whales. When we arrived, we found L-Pod, a family of resident Killer Whales fishing along the coast. We were lucky enough to be able to eavesdrop on them, listening to their vocals as they communicated with each other and their echolocation as they homed in on fish.

A future Marine Biologist joined us on this trip as a present for her 6^th Birthday! The whales had traveled North from their location in the morning. When we arrived on the scene we were delighted to find SUPERPOD! The afternoon was spent surrounded by Killer Whales fishing, breaching and vocalizing.
