My first day back on the water around Vancouver Island and I got the chance to hang out with J pod once again. J pod is one of three pods/families that are a part of the Southern Resident Orca, which you can encounter in the Pacific North West. This orca ecotype forage on Chinook salmon & you can encounter them year round, however, you are more likely to bump into these guys during the summer period when the salmon are running.
This big fella is by far one of my favourite members of J pod. His name is Blackberry aka J27 - one of the biggest and oldest males in J pod. Basically, it was a great welcome back to Vancouver Island!!
