Orca Calf with amber coloration on white areas |
The calves did lots of breeching and tail slapping.
Sometimes the group would explode through the water right next to the boat.
It was hard to keep track of how many orcas were around us, but this photo shows a group of 7 swimming away from us.
Within 5 minutes of the orcas' departure, a bald eagle soared directly over the top of the boat.
It was such a surprise to have an eagle so close and I was slow at shortening the length of the zoom lens I was using so when it was directly overhead and obviously looking at us, I clipped off a part of her/his wing. I do love the eagle's expression, though.
When we realized that we would get to the dock in the afternoon, Dan got us a room off boat for the night. We traded our ship's cabin bunks for a queen-sized bed and a really great dinner (grilled scallops for me) at Zerelda's Bistro. Our 29th wedding anniversary was June 28, so this was our celebration dinner. Thank you Mark for the hotel info and thank you Jan (Bob's Jan) for the restaurant recommendation.
