(K5 News - see their footage here; K POD Frolics ?

Today on our beautiful 3:30 Ocean Magic trip we traveled to the east where Jpod had returned from the west and were approaching the San Juan Island area in Haro Strait to feed. We arrived just as animals were in high traveling mode to their hunting grounds. Many spy hops along the travels as well as side exposing, pec slapping and milling - foraging behavior. The animals remained spread apart feeding in small groups or solo. We then watched as a mother and calf - Mako J39 (2003) and mother Blossom J11 (1972) forage in the strait. We were situated at Pile Pt when we departed at 5:15.
