Hi All,
Today we were back to work with few seabirds in sight. At about 1:30 we noticed something swimming offshore and it turned out to be a pod of Orcas or "killer whales". They stayed in the same area for over an hour apparently feeding on a school of fish. We saw one big male with a very tall dorsal fin. We also saw about 6 females/juveniles. They would occasionally breach, jumping clear out of the water. It was very exciting and we got to show them to a few lucky visitors.
After work we met another volunteer couple, Art and Janette Carr, in Yachats 12 miles north of the campground. We had a delicious fresh seafood dinner then walked along the ocean path as the sun went down. Quite close offshore we spotted 2 or 3 gray whales and they stayed in the area for the whole time. The surf was pounding and splashing on the rocks and the whales were spouting; it was hard to know where to look first.
Love
