On a beautiful, sunny July afternoon, we donned orange cold weather suits.
Why? 
To take a zodiac trip across choppy waters to visit some special local residents.

Whale watching for Orcinus orca (killer whales)!
These resident orcas are fish eaters – They are salmon specialists. About 80% of
their diet is Chinook salmon.
The orcas that visit the waters surrounding San
Juan Island are known as the Southern Resident Killer Whales.
The males like this one,
are much bigger than the females,
and have a larger and more developed dorsal fin.
