T14, T30a and T11a sighted near Swartz Bay

April 10
Mark Malleson's 10 am Zodiac trip caught up with the big group of Transients near Swartz Bay today. He encountered the same ones reported yesterday, 9th April. I saw three big males T14, T30A and T11A along with many females. Great day seeing all those Transients together. All we needed was more sunshine. Happy Easter to you.

Orca Network received a call from Rob Lawson of Powell River, B.C, reporting 3 orcas in Malaspina Strait at 12:45 pm today. There was a male, female & young calf - the male had a vertical white line on his fin (more description below). They were in the N. end of Malaspina Strait, heading SE.
he then sent this update: The male is not in the photo groups (ID Guide), very big, vertical white strip on dorsal fin is about 1/3 to 2/3 of the ways to the top. Cute baby, very small, must be this years?? thanx from the best coast,
