[KWlocate] Fw: Orcas off Edmonds/Kingston hdg. N

[Scott Veirs]

Listen to Port Townsend tonight! (See below from Susan.)

I've confirmed that automated detection (& humans) missed them on their way in 11/11-12...  Maybe they were silent or masked by ship noise?

Finally - another sighting of the whales in Puget Sound today!

Anthony Woelke of WA State Ferries, aboard the Puyallup ferry, called to
report several small pods of orcas spread out, mid-channel between
Edmonds and Kingston, between Jeff Head & Edward Pt. at 2:05 pm,
heading slowly north. He saw a male, female & small calf, another
group of 4 swimming abreast, and another 10+ beyond them.They also saw 1
spout further out that didn't look like an orca spout - possible gray
whale?  


Then we received a call from Chrissy MacClean of Pt.Townsend, onboard the
Edmonds/Kingston ferry, reporting ~10 orcas off the ferry at 2:30
pm.


keep your eyes peeled - there's still a few hours of daylight!
