Hello, We sighted and photographed some of the Southern Residents today in Monterey Bay. There were about 40 whales that were first sighted feeding on unknown fish, with birds diving in area (possible mackerel). Then they began to travel and headed south into 25-30 knots wind and last seen off Cypress Pt, Carmel Bay. Pics were confirmed by Ken Balcomb of the Center for Whale Research.

Ken Balcomb of the Center for Whale Research called with some of the ID’s on the photos he has seen so far of the Monterey Bay orcas from Jan. 27th : L67, L72, L78, L88 & L105
