The following are photos of some of the
Southern Resident Orca in front of Powell River, BC. It's
interesting that these whales take a trip up this way at least once
per year in the winter months. Last year, J-Pod showed up just
before Christmas, in the sunshine and gave some wonderful breaches.
It's not often they come up this far so it will be interesting to see
what happens. Keep your eyes open everyone – there are whales and
dolphins out there!

The Marine Mammal Response Network
sent me a link to a video regarding Sea Lion entanglements that is
very interesting and worth watching.

Please help prevent entanglements. A reminder that if you spot a
marine mammal or sea turtle (we've had a few in BC recently) in
distress, injured or dead, please call the hotline at: 1-800-465-4336
immediately.
