Orcas have strong family groups with close bonds. They family group is known as a pod & is made up of related mothers & descendants. Each #orca pod has their own distinct calls, kind of like an accent, to communicate. 🖤

What do whale watchers do after work? Watch whales of course!
Yesterday evening, a few of our members headed over to Deception Pass Bridge in time to catch the T137s swimming west through Canoe Pass. T137A "Jack" even snagged a seal under the bridge!
