Members of a #KillerWhale pod related to an #orphan #orca calf that escaped a remote #BritishColumbia tidal lagoon last month have been spotted off the northeast coast of #VancouverIsland.

#MarineScientist Jared Towers says in a social media post he was surprised to see members of the calf’s great grandmother’s pod swimming in ocean waters near #AlertBay.

“It’s not a normal species you see here so it was very cool to see,” Brulot-Sawchyn said.

He was right about it being unusual, the praya dubia or giant #siphonophore generally lives in the #mesopelagic zone, 300 to 700 metres under the sea, said Moira Galbraith a #marine biologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

My wife and I have been discussing what it would look like to start an #IntentionalCommunity / #cohousing project here in the #SalishSea area (US side). There are existing communities that I am looking forward to visiting, but we want to focus our efforts with folks who are #Covid cautious right now. Throwing the question into the fediverse- is this something folks are interested in?

Feb 18 is
We can observe two different ecotypes of orcas in the Salish Sea: the transient and the resident orcas. The transient orcas travel between California and Alaska while the resident orcas live in the Salish Sea and are listed as endangered.

Another photo taken early in the morning during my private photo tour. In the winter we often have thick fog at night and early morning. As we walk in the forest, we can hear water drops from the fog dripping from the trees. Time to be quiet and listen to the rainforest and all the creatures who inhabited it.
