"I got word this afternoon from Howard Garrett up in Friday Harbor that L Pod showed up in Monterey Bay, was confirmed by premier orca expert Nancy Black who said that they turned around and are headed north. It’s calculated that they could be off here late Monday afternoon. L Pod is part of the badly depleted Southern Residents, so this is not your ordinary orca sighting.
I notified projects at IC Santa Barbara and Bodega so they’ll be aware. If you will put the word out to your Sightings list, that will be very helpful.
Thanks,

Good luck! Let me know if you see them and please try to get photos, especially of their tall dorsal fins.

This photo was taken by John Batchelder a few years ago. Thanks to John for allowing me to share it with you here.
