WHALES: Orcas headed this way, southbound (photo added)

10:59 AM: A large group of transient orcas is passing through the Bainbridge ferry lanes, southbound, reports Kersti Muul, which means they’ll be in view off West Seattle before long if they don’t change direction.

ADDED 8:59 PM: Thanks to Rick R. for sending that photo of some of the whales, with the whale-watching boat Saratoga in view.

    Three orcas heading south now just west of Alki Point close to eastern side of sound.

    ok, i love the whale updates, but have to ask. How in the h-e-double hockey sticks does Kersti spot these all day, every day?
