A few of the renderings from some of our current Bigg's 201 students (Maria, Zoe, and Jess).

Fall Whale U courses are in full swing & our Bigg's 201 virtual cohort is getting acquainted with their Bigg's killer whale family groups in several ways, including a sketching component.

Here are some drawings from our students: Maria, Zoe, and Jess!

Male Southern Resident killer whale K26 Lobo does a half breach in the glassy calm, sky blue waters of the Salish Sea.

This is my 16th time of writing a Day of the Dead tribute to honor of the Southern Residents we have lost over the previous year. This year pays homage to K26 Lobo and unnamed calves J61 and J64.-MWS

Three Bigg's killer whales surface side by side in the San Juan Islands

Yesterday was my first time of the year crossing paths with the T37As!

Shown here are mom T37A Volker with her oldest son T37A2 Inky and youngest daughter T37A4 Crinkle. I love how this shows how each one of them as a notch in the trailing edge of their fin.

While J-Pod is making an early season extended visit to Puget Sound, we've had no shortage of Bigg's killer whales in the central Salish Sea. Yesterday we got on the water with over a dozen whales from four different family groups: the T36A1s, T60s, T99s, and T123s!
