T87 "Harbeson" is estimated to be at least 63 years old, making him the oldest known male in the Bigg's (transient) population. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to conclude an amazing day on May 11, 2025, on the west side of Lummi Island. (San Juan Islands)

A very cool sighting off the Oregon Coast yesterday shared with us by Léna Hardivillier! She was lucky enough to be on the Newport crabbing pier as the T49Bs and T50D entered Yaquina Bay. The extended T49s have a history of being seen in Oregon over the years.
