AG pod in Saginaw Channel

We were able to count five whales, including a very young calf.  Three (including the calf) appeared to be socializing, as they were rolling around and spy hopping.  We also saw a couple pec slaps.  We thought the calf might have been nursing at one point.  Also, we actually could hear them vocalizing very briefly.  This was the first time we have heard orcas vocalizing.  It was so neat!  AG pod is a very large pod, and we only saw five individuals.  I couldn't help but wonder where the rest were. 

Recently I counted up the number of times I have seen orcas since moving to Southeast Alaska nearly six years ago.  This was number 80!  I hope there are many more to come.
