Cooper (T124C), left, and Spouter (T019C) enjoy some buddy time as they and six other whales travel up Trincomali Channel north of Victoria. Cooper, 34, is a wandering male who sometimes travels alone but is often seen with other families or other wandering males. #Wild4Whales

Harbour seals spend about half their lives on land—mainly doing this! Zzzzzzzzz! #Wild4Whales

This is a Dall’s porpoise, one of the fastest cetaceans in the ocean. They can reach speeds of 55 kph in short bursts, which is why this is our typical view of them—a burst of spray and a glimpse of a black and white torpedo! #Wild4Whales

Matriarch Bella (T099) swims past a harbour seal. She could have easily ended the hunt right there, but perhaps it was a teaching moment for the younger members of her family: Prey Handling 101! #Wild4Whales

Orca calves are born year-round (mostly fall/winter). With 18-month pregnancies, summer is peak romance season. Males meet mates when families gather—but when they split, he goes home with mom. Orca love is fleeting 🐳

Naturalist Natalie expresses what we all thought of the calm, warmish weather on this spectacular Salish Sea winter day. Blue skies, glassy seas, a humpback whale and plenty of fresh air. This is what we mean by “Salish Sea therapy!”

A sea lion hunt is an exciting event for Bigg’s killer whales. They breach like this during the hunt, often landing on top of their prey to stun it. And they often breach afterwards to celebrate! #Wild4Whales

Four pairs of beady harbour seal eyes watch us closely as we drift by their haulout. As a prey animal, seals must always be alert for their number one predator—killer whales! #Wild4Whales

It was an unforgettable moment for the kids on this school tour when they got to see wild killer whales—in this case, T060 and her big son, T060C! Helping the kids make an emotional connection to the Salish Sea is the goal of these tours, and we certainly achieved that! #Wild4Whales

Three California sea lions rest on the rocks west of Race. These are all adult males—we can tell from the prominent blonde “sagittal crest” on top of their heads. #Wild4Whales

It was good to see Kodiak (T069E) back with his family again. This 22-year-old is intermittently striking out on his own, not unusual in families with more than one adult male. Before this encounter, he was last seen with his mother and two brothers in mid-October. #Wild4Whales

A female humpback known as Ghost (BCX1333) dives just west of Victoria. She had a calf in 2025, last seen together in December—this is the time of year they naturally part ways. #Wild4Whales

Great winter looks at sea otters lately—at least two in the area! No sign of Ollie yet, likely off our usual route with kelp still scarce. We’ll update when he pops up 🦦 #Wild4Whales

With their shrill, excitable cries, black oystercatchers are a prominent part of the Salish Sea soundscape. We wonder what these two were fussing about. Maybe they were discussing the sea otter floating in the background! #Wild4Whales

There’s no mistaking this curved, left-tilting dorsal fin. It’s Galiano (T019B), poking around the waters of Cattle Pass for an unwary seal or sea lion. Galiano is one of the most recognizable Bigg’s killer whales in this region. #Wild4Whales
