From the Office:

It was a pretty exciting day in Telegraph Cove today, as it was only the second time in over thirty years that Captain Jim has ever seen transient (marine mammal eaters) killer whales right inside the Cove.  We picked them up as they were heading out of the Cove past the Gikumi and we figured that there were at least four animals.  We were so excited that we jumped into our car and headed over to Ella Point to see if we could get any ID photos.

The killer whales were just passing the Point and we were only able to get some distant shots.  We think that we can ID the adult male and adult female.  We'll let you know what we find out!

T44, the transient killer whale that was found dead in the spring is almost ready to bring up from the ocean bottom.  We recently checked the lower jaw bone and as you can see it is coming along nicely.  A great winter day in the Cove!
