Orca/humpback double header

Long distance shore viewing today so all of the photographs I took were essentially useless.  Nevertheless, one humpback and a pod of orcas were observed.  The humpback was first spotted near the southern tip of Pennock Island.  It crossed the eastern channel of the Tongass Narrows, and was last seen slightly south of Rotary Beach.  No pics.    

Approximately two hours later, and from Rotary Beach, a pod of orcas were observed near the southern end of Gravina Island.  They slowly made their way across Nichols Passage, moving towards Ketchikan but never getting very close to shore.  They turned and started swimming south towards Mountain Point.  Unfortunately a positive ID of the pod was not possible.
