Sightings Dolphins, Porpoises and Photos

Today was a day of Dolphins and Porpoises again. There were no Orca sightings reports from anywhere today (that is from Washington State to Queen Charlotte Strait). A couple or three Humpback Whales at the top of Johnstone Strait, one in Washington State. And some Minke Whales around the Seattle area. US information thanks to Susan Berta and Howard Garrett, Orca Network

June 5:
Around 12 pm approx. 60 Pacific White Sided Dolphins were spread out in a feeding / foraging pattern between the Powell River Mill and Atrevida Reef. Looked like they were working Northward, but lost them after a bit so unable to confirm.
