Excellent news this week with the spotting of 2 new calves, J-44 & L-112. Pictures can be viewed online at http://www.theprovince.com/Sports/births+boost+orca+population/1309119/story.html
This now brings the Resident Orca population to around 85.
We re opened for business today with our Eco Tours when it turned into a whale watching tour. We started off of Sooke heading towards Race Rocks Eco Reserve when I noticed Dorsal fins to the South. We arrived to find 4 adult female, 2 calves and 2 adult male Orcas playing and hunting.
What a way to start the season!
Sooke Coastal Explorations is now open daily for Eco Tours at 1pm. Come enjoy the views of Race Rocks Eco Reserve, the animals that live there also Vancouver Islands magnificent West Coast.
Many Transient Orcas were spotted in our area last week, so we might get a treat and see them too.
