Lone orca near Auke Bay and one humpback near Shelter Island

6/5/2018

We spotted a lone orca near Auke Bay. The encounter was a bit frustrating due to the water conditions, the elusive behavior of the orca, and the large number of whale watching boats jockeying for position. The orca has been identified as T087. This is the second time I have seen T087 (November 26, 2016, was the first time).

The humpback encounter was equally as frustrating with the water conditions and the whale watching boat traffic.

I did not get very good photos of this whale, but I believe it was whale number 1879, aka Sasha. This is the second time I have seen her. The first was on April 9, 2017.
