Hey there...
Just thought I would send you a short note to let you know that today we had 12-15 killer
whales in the Bay of Fundy. The group included one very large male with a wrinkle/and wave
along the trailing margin of its dorsal. There was also one very small calf. We should have good
photos for the Identification of 6-7 animals. The pod was spread out over 1000 meters, and two
animals approached the stern of the R/V Abel-J.
