Today we viewed actively feeding humpback whales and a family of Bigg's killer whales in the Juan de Fuca Strait! A brave sea otter watched the action from nearby. At Race Rocks Ecological Reserve we saw Steller and California sea lions and harbour seals. This time of year is excellent for viewing migratory sea birds, including red-necked phalaropes, Sabine's gulls, common murres and rhinocerous auklets. We often come across large groups of sea birds feeding on bait balls.
