The afternoon trip took us to in between Whiterock, BC & Bellingham, WA.
Theywere spread out but gradually came together in large groupings of 10-20 animals / group.
K 14 Lea was in the lead with her son Lobo K 26 who is now a teenager, Yoda K 36 who loves to breach, & of course her new baby/calf K 42. Lea's first two calves K23 & K24 died after only a few weeks
Lea & Yoda were playing with there new family member near the boat this afternoon. They 'presented' him/her to us at the surface of the water about 30 yards from the boat.
This is a behavior that is incredibly special and it never fails to humble everyone...puts things into perspective pretty quick as to the special importance of these animals.
It sure is a cutie!!!
