Yes, there were Orca in June!
This picture gives an somewhat of an idea as to just how close these toothed jumbo dolphins came to our beach! Note: Photoshop was not used to create these whales... OK, I did use Photoshop to add the arrows. Orca are rarely seen this far south during this part of the year. These whales are not part of the J, K, or L pods that are resident in the sound but a group of 5 what are called "transient whales" - just passing through. Incidentally, the boat in the background was said to be a NOAA observation vessel. This sighting occurred on June 30, 2006. Sorry for the late post.
