Dan, I’m with Mark Mering a.k.a. Dr. Mark who you met when you took us to see the burrowing owls in Marianna, we are up in Boise, Idaho, where he lives and he really likes and pays attention to your webpage. He’s also sent it to several of his friends here in Boise. I met a retired teacher up here in Boise the other day, and she really spoke highly of your webpage. These orcas are just amazing.
Hi Dan, Fabulous images of the Southern resident orcas! Did the operators say how the population was faring? I read recently that cetologists in the area feared that this population was going extinct. I spent ten summers in the Inside Strait (Johnstone Strait/Blackfish Sound) kayaking with the Northern Residents. I even paddled with them at night!
Thanks John. The population is struggling due to the reduced Salmon in the area. Your kayaking adventures sound incredible. I'll bet you have wonderful memories of those days.
It's hard to convey the thrill one feels when watching these magnificent species in their element. You brought back some very old thrills from before I had any decent photographic equipment. Thanks for the memories and glad you share your great photos.
It is so thrilling to see them!
Yes, and I know you know the feeling too.
Having been on whale watching experiences, I know how difficult it is to get great shots....and you got them!
Thanks Deb
That was refreshing. Thanks
thank you Jane
Great pictures. I haven't been to the ocean in years
Glad you like the images
