8:37 AM: Southern Resident Killer Whales from J Pod are back in the area, Kersti Muul tells us this morning. This time they are southbound, “spread across the channel” and at last report approaching Point Williams (that’s where Colman Pool is at Lincoln Park). Let us know if you see them!
9:42 AM: Kersti says the whales are now headed northbound.
5:08 PM: They’re still in the area, says Kersti, who pointed out earlier that it appeared to be more than J Pod; it’s a “superpod,” according to Donna Sandstrom of The Whale Trail, who’s out in the Alki area leading shore-based watching. She says researchers Mark and Maya Sears are out with the whales too – and that most if not all of the Southern Residents are here.
