Orca

For 23 years, I have scanned the waters of northern Skagit Bay trying to catch site of whales.  A visit by the Southern Resident Orcas (Orcinus orca), in particular, has been a quest which has eluded me.  I have written about this longing in a post at Fidalgo Island Crossings.  It includes wonderful photos by Monika Wieland of Orca Watcher.  Perhaps 2011 will finely bring success.
