Captain Brian and Naturalist Kevin had another first-experience with a wildlife encounter! The Sea Hawk was bombin’ down towards Hein Bank, which is in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It was a little bit of a haul for our whale watch boat, but it was sooo worth it! The Sea Hawk arrived on the scene and Kevin figured out that the whales there were observing were most likely the T70s, which is a Transient group (mammal eaters, remember?). But get this, instead of eating mammals, there were chowin’ down on common mures! That’s a bird! Kevin said at one point, there was a mure that popped up at the surface and it was having trouble taking off and Kevin was thinking that it might have been battered around below the surface. The mure was skipping along at the surface when a juvenile orca came up from below it and snapped it up in! Think “Jaws!” Both Captain Brian and Naturalist Kevin said it was the first time ever that they’ve witnessed this!
