PHOTOS: Another Southern Resident Killer Whales visit

3:51 PM: If you’re up for pre-sunset whale watching, Kersti Muul just texted to report that Southern Resident Killer Whales from J and K Pods are “northbound from just before the south end of Blake Island. Visible without binoculars.”

3:57 PM: Donna Sandstrom from The Whale Trail says she’s heading to Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook (4500 block Beach Drive) for guided viewing.

4:55 PM: We were lucky enough to see some of the whales, not close enough to photograph but via binoculars loaned by Donna. We watched one group continue northbound, passing Bainbridge as it got dark. They’re still chasing chum, apparently.

What a blessing . A very close, slow and methodical pass of several groups at Constellation.Just enough light to take some pictures, but this was a night to just watch them and enjoy their presence. They continued NE and disappeared into the mist….And no traffic chaos! Perfect evening, and so great to see all the community that is brought together by the whales This is Jpod’s 27th day down here. Unreal, and unprecedented!
