- The Southern Residents have been absent from their traditional inland Salish Sea social & hunting grounds for the previous 8 weeks. Today members of J pod, K pod & L87 "Onyx" were observed along with the newest member, 6-week old J56 with mom J31. Facing extinction they are suffering a critical food shortage and habitat degradation. There are only 76* remaining members. Filmed from shore. (My apologies ~ poor image quality through the first half of the video) *Update 8-6-19 CWR reported three adult orca missing and presumed dead reducing the population to just 73 individuals. Missing are J17 a 42-year-old female, K25 a 28-year-old male and L84 a 29 year old male.

Did you hear about the new calf born, L124.
Yes I did, born to L77. The Center for Whale Research observed L124 when only a few weeks old and said the calf was healthy and energetic. Thank you for your comment, All Star :)
You’re welcome! Let’s hope L124 is able to survive to adulthood because there are only 74 to 76 Southern Resident orcas left.
Along with the vaquita, they are the cetacean I focus on the most.
@@allstarpterosaur850 Yesterday, the Center for Whale Research reported that 3 Southern Resident Orcas are missing and presumed dead. The missing whales are J17 Princess Angeline, K25 Scoter and L84 Nyssa. This reduces the Southern Resident Orca population to 73 individuals. Here's a link to CWR's media release with more information, www.whaleresearch.com/july2019population
I know. Poor things. They’re the most endangered population of orcas on earth.
Is that you Mick?
Is that you Dot? lol :) (Yes, it's Mick)
It sure is. Thought you were lost. The orcas are wonderful. It must be a joy to see them coming home. Hope all is well in your life. Things are good with me, but not too much bird cam watching as I have tons of birds at my home that I love watching. Real life as opposed to a webcam. Not many wild owl cams any more (unless they take over an eagle nest with a cam). Had a feeling it was you because I think I remember videos you posted on the Raptor Resource Project.
I'm happy to hear you are well and observing wildlife around you. We shared some good times at Raptor Resource- thanks so much for reaching out. All my best.
