Dave Ellifrit, Emma Foster, Erin Heydenreich, John Durban and Leigh Hickmott of the Center for Whale Research headed out after receiving a report of the L12's off Hein Bank from Jeanne Hyde at 6 a.m. At 9:48 a.m. L85 was spotted off Salmon Bank (48° 25.958 N; 123° 00.629 W) traveling slowly towards San Juan Island (48° 27.93 N; 123° 00.84 W). The whales were very spread out and apparently foraging. The whales present were: L12, L42, L77, L94, L22, L79, L85, L89, K20 and K38. All whales that were in the area were documented. This is the first sighting of any L pod whales since March, and the second CWR encounter with L's in Puget Sound this year.

Correction from June 10th report from CWR:
We had an error on our website for encounter 24/June 10 - L12s & K20/38 (reported in the 6/12 Orca Network report). The whales seen were: L12, L25, L41, L77, L94, L79, L85, L89, L22, K20, K38. Thanks!

June 10, from 1:15pm to 2:05pm, we were delighted to watch L-41, L-77, K-20, and K-38, actively foraging off of False Bay. They headed west-northwest at first, then made directional changes and milling as the flood tide picked up. Lots of percussive behaviors- tail slaps, pectoral slaps, and breaches! L-41 was upside down, repeatedly slapping his curled tail flukes back on the surface! Nice to see the K's with the L's, and familiar behavior- hope they got some salmon.
