SRKWs, NRKWs, Bigg’s Orca and Humpbacks Of Course

A publication of Wild Ocean Whale Society (WOWs)

SRKWs, NRKWs, Bigg’s Orca and Humpbacks Of Course

July 12, 2016   —   issue No. 2016-021

As we publish this report, some of the Northern Resident Killer Whales have made their way down into Johnstone Strait. Being harassed by Pacific White Sided Dolphins is a very good indicator of the Resident or fish eating Orca. The Dolphins tend to hide when the Transient Bigg’s are around as they are meat eaters and frequently take Dolphins, Porpoise, Seals and Sea Lions, as well as other whales, if they can. Some pods of Transient Bigg’s have preferences, such as Seals, and some prefer Dolphins. There are a few more pods of Transient Bigg’s Orca in our inner waters as well as the Southern Resident Orca once again.
Humpback Whale reports are plentiful with KC and Arial still being very active. With a few more Humpbacks around again, many people are saying that it’s about time. Hard to imagine it was only a few years ago that they really started to re-populate our inside waters again.
When we have so many reports of Orca, Humpbacks and Dolphins, our smaller Porpoise reports are few and far between. They are still out there, but most people find it more exciting to report the larger Cetaceans.

Society News & Events
A reminder to all out on the water to be very aware of any Whales, Dolphins or Porpoise. Slow down around them. Better yet, if you find yourself closer to any of these wonderful animals than the guidelines allow, put the boat into neutral and enjoy watching them as you drift. Please pay attention boaters!

Our team of Volunteers continue to do a great job in making sure all your reports are mapped and published each week.

Are you the type of volunteer interested in Cetacea and mapping, who would be willing to spend some time with our growing Society network?
We are also preparing for our first Real Time Monitoring Station and will be posting additional callout for Volunteers in this regard.
