J POD TODAY
We were lucky enough to be out with J pod today. They were slowly coming up the westside of San Juan Island very spread out foraging. What a treat this early in our season to be with the whales.
I got word that little J-43, born last November to Samish J-14, was not seen today by the Center for Whale Research. That doesn’t mean it didn’t survive the winter but it’s not a good sign. Usually at that young age the newborns are very close to mom. Hopefully the whales will be around the next few days so I can get a better look at all of them. They were so scattered today that we only saw four or five, including Granny J-2. I did hear J-1 Ruffles, the oldest male in J pod was seen today as well.
