Northern resident baby news:<br />
Fantome (A91), Sunday (A92), Cypress (A93), Mystery (A94), Fern (A95), Blackfly (C29), Sweeper (C30), and Naden (C31) have all exceeded their first year of life. Hooray!<br />
Calves A96, A97, A98, D26 and I109 were all born between 2010 and now. None have survived their first year of life yet though so they remain nameless. Hopefully all five (and more) will be seen thriving this summer.<br />
(Source: Orcanetwork)<br />
<br />
Fun facts:<br />
Fern is Corky at SeaWorld San Diego great niece or nephew. Though they never knew each other, Ripple (A43), Fern's Grandmother, is Corky's little sister.<br />
Mystery is Springer's aunt or uncle. Springer's Grandma, Kelsey, (A24) is still producing healthy calves in her forties.<br />

Here's a photo of J1 and J2 from last October in Admiralty Inlet. The last time we got to see J1/Ruffles was November 4th in Admiralty Inlet, nearly in the same spot where we were with J pod on Sunday. We were saddened to see J2 without J1 anywhere in sight, and though we hope his big, ruffled fin will show up and surprise us all, he has not been sighted since Nov. 21st, and J2 has been seen several times without him since then. <br />
But if J1 is indeed gone, we know his huge presence will always be felt. His genes have been passed along to many of the calves in all three pods of the Southern Resident community, who will hopefully become big, strong males with massive fins, who will follow along in his fluke prints to become legends in their own time, as Ruffles has been a legend in his~<br />

This morning we encountered L72 and L105 carrying a dead killer whale calf off the west side of San Juan Island. We followed the whales for just over 6 hours, and most of the time the calf was not visible, but on occasion L72 would lift the calf out of the water when she was surfacing. When we were able to see the calf L72 appeared to either be pushing it in front of her balanced on her rostrum or would be carrying the calf on the top of her head, but the calf was negatively buoyant, so had probably not been dead for long. Although L105, L72's ~6 year old son, was within 50 or 100 m for most of the time, we did not see L105 interacting with the dead calf. Based on the size of the calf (approximately 6-7') we suspect it was near-term but no way to know whether it was stillborn or born alive and died shortly afterward. Upon surfacing L72 would frequently appear to 'drop' the calf and both whales would stop and dive deep to recover it. From the photos it appears the calf was a female, and the umbilical is still attached and clearly visible. When we left the whales early this evening L72 still had the calf with her. <br />

August 18, 2010 L47 had a new calf: L115. <br />
The latest member of L pod was first seen August 6 from Lime Kiln Lighthouse. The calf was photographed by Jeanne Hyde. After an encounter with L pod on the August 13th, the Center was able to confirm that the calf belongs to L47. This is the 7th known calf born to L47. Two of those calves are still alive, L83 and L91. L47 is also a grandmother to L83's calf L110.<br />

2 Orca (looked like mama and baby) traveling north at 1 pm June 18th. I did not get a picture of the baby (see photo of adult male, below - identified as Transient orca T31 by Rod Palm of Strawberry Isle Research & Dave Ellifrit of Center for Whale Research). Location: Cape Flattery, Washington Latitude: 48-22'59'' N; Longitude: 124-42'52'' W. <br />

No Resident Orcas today, yet around 1:35pm we come across another group of 4 Transient Killer Whales! A male T-56, with a female, juvenile and calf. He is an orphan, so hard to ID who he was with. They are swimming fairly slowly with that strong flood tide, in a tight group on long dives, north then east around Sucia Island. <br />

This evening (6/19) we had a delightful and surprising encounter with a group of 15 Transient Orcas near Beaumont Shoals. At the moment these Transient Orcas have not been identified and may be new visitors to the Salish Sea:) Within he group there was two large males one of which had a very distinctive dorsal fin. We followed the group as they moved swiftly north in Haro Strait and were nearing Lime Kiln Lighthouse when we left them.<br />

departed Snug Harbor at 10:50 a.m. with a report of transients just off of Discovery Island, B.C. Approximately seven miles east of Seabird Point (48° 20.83 N,123° 05.77 W) at 11:35 a.m. we found the group of seven transients traveling slowly in a tight group, heading south west. The group included T75, T75A, T73B and the T77s. We were with the group for several hours as they zigzagged their way south west into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Our encounter ended at 2:01 p.m. with the whales still headed south (48° 16.93 N, 123° 08.21 W).Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00106629761591242577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898296434953660834.post-83009535599644293372009-06-05T01:44:00.000-07:002011-06-05T01:47:26.794-07:00T073sMay 13, 2011<br />

Transient orca T051 (see photo below) was with T068C and T068C1 on May 1st west of Sheringham Pt. Lighthouse. They were originally spotted by Gotcha Fishing Charters and were tracking east off Jordan River (south Vancouver Island). When I found them they were south bound on a line for the U.S./Canada border.<br />
I left them west bound mid strait south of Point no Point at 1615hrs.<br />

Transient Orcas this morning at 8:20am by Powell River, only two were visible at any time with the big male being either T054 or T093. It was difficult to tell for sure - they were not staying on the surface very long. They did cruise by some sea lions, and were on a head on course for the porpoises reported by Myrtle Rocks. I kept hoping for a turn back up this way, but nothing. <br />
Two Orca reported just south of Powell River at 10:40am. Some resting and continuing slowly southward. <br />

W1 Discrete calls<br />
The 2 R clan pods (R1 and W1) have nearly identical dialects, which can be easily distinguished from other clans even by an untrained ear, but not from eachother.<br />
The repertoire of the W1 pod consists of the following 8 discrete calls: N32i, N33, N34, N35, N42, N43, N50, and N51 <br />
All the calls are shared with R1 pod<br />
<br />
<br />

Having no living mother, the male R6 (Caamano), before he died in 2000, frequently wandered from the matriline for significant periods of time. <br />
R6 was the father of C8 Lama. His dorsal fin had a forwarded hook, an attribute sometimes seen in old males. He was born before 1954 because, when the study began, he had already a fullgrown dorsal fin.<br />
R2 died in 2005, at the age of 67 years old, leaving 2 sons R3 Nigei who is the father of A56 Nahwitti of the A11 matriline, A26 Foster of the A9 matriline and A60 Fife of the A23 matriline, and R12 Kitlope, who is the father of A61, Surge also from the A23 matriline. <br />
