Orcas in the Gastineau Channel

A pod of orcas were observed in the Gastineau Channel.  I first noticed the pod near one of the cruise ship docks.  They were very active while they were in that area.  I think they were hunting something or had killed something.  They were on the other side of the channel from me and heading south, so I drove over to Sheep Creek hoping they would pass right by me.  Once I got on the other side of the channel, I found that they had moved back over to the Douglas side of the channel (which is were I started from).  I watched as they swam past Sandy Beach.  I eventually drove to Sheep Creek hoping that they would move over closer to me.  They never did!  They cruised along the shores of Douglas, sometimes lingering in one spot.  I eventually had to leave and last saw them across from Sheep Creek very close to Douglas Island.  Despite the extreme distance, I was able to identify T038A thanks to a unique white patch she has on her dorsal fin.  She is a transient orca.
