Up for some evening whale-watching? Kersti Muul sends word that transient orcas are in view off Constellation Park (south of Alki Point) right now – “on a kill,” so no particular direction. Let us know if you see them!
Serious question here.. how do you know/can tell a male and a female? They seem to look alike, just the beautiful black and white pattern of the Orcas
Mature males have a tall dorsal fin, up to 6 feet. Female and younger male orcas have shorter dorsal fins.
Thanks for posting! I was able to watch them from afar for about 25 minutes. Saw some tail slaps and a spy hops. What a treat!
Aww, I missed it! Is there any way to get notification about whale sightings? I live off Beach Drive and always seem to miss them…
The Whale Trail has said they’re working on alerts, but I don’t know a timetable.
Sorry, comment time is over.
