A12s at Lizard Point

No calls but orcas nearby

The A12s are just west of Lizard Point, in Queen Charlotte Strait. This is just to the west of us so perhaps before they day is out they will drop down to these parts.

Seasmoke reports:
It was exciting news to hear a sports fishing vessel reporting that orcas were traveling to the east from Lizard Point. En route to the orcas a Bald Eagle was sighted swimming in the water, using its wings to help propel its body along, it finally made it to shore; Dall’s Porpoises were also seen near by. At the time of our encounter with the orcas, the A12 matriline were mingling about, young calves were playful with tail slapping and some resting activity was also observed. A12 was sighted resting, not so far behind A34 and some of her offspring who included A67 and her new calf.
