ORCA ALERT: Transient killer whales headed this way

Just got the tip from Kersti Muul: A group of orcas identified as the T-65a transients (who, she notes, include a year-old calf) is headed southbound, seen off Yeomalt Point on Bainbridge Island [map]. Midchannel, so if you go out looking, bring binoculars. Let us know if you see them! We’ll keep updating this story, though we’re working on a lot today so it won’t be at the top of the stream for long.

    Visible from Alki, however these guys are on a slow train today they have been in the same spot for an hour probably feeding on a kill… Lots of surface behavior; tail slapping breaching etc.West of channel around mid Elliot bay.It’s foggy and humid out there
