So...uh...this happened. 😲 Captain Shaun of @OceanEco got the shots of a lifetime as Bigg's killer whale T19 Mooyah a.k.a. Nootka chased down a sunset snack. #salishseasummer #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #pwwa

There's a lot to love about this photo of T137A "Jack" breaching close to shore in Puget Sound, but the faces of the two dogs watching intently might be our favorite part of all! 📷: Bart Rulon, @psxpress #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #salishsea #whalewatching #pwwa

Ahead of the Canada Day and 4th of July holidays, nature is setting off its own fireworks. This amazing encounter involved the T85 and T46B families of Bigg's orcas. 🤩 📷: Katie Kennedy, San Juan Safaris #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #salishseasummer #whalewatching #pwwa

This morning, bold swimmers took to the chilly water of Port Angeles Harbor for the 1st Annual "Orca Bait Swim". The swim must have worked, because eight different groups of Bigg's orcas have already been reported in the Salish Sea today. 😝 #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #pwwa

The Salish Sea was more like the Salish Lake this past weekend! Naturalist Katie Kennedy of San Juan Safaris snapped these shots of members of the T34, T37, and T65B families socializing together in beautiful conditions on Saturday. #biggskillerwhales #salishseasummer #pwwa

The T049As have been frequent visitors to the Salish Sea this year. Usually there are only 5 whales because males Noah (T049A1) & Jude (T049A2) have dispersed. Occasionally, one of them checks in with mom. That’s Noah with mother, Nan (T049A). #Wild4Whales #BiggsKillerWhales

Wishing you a fantastic fall Friday. 💛🧡🤎 📷: T137A "Jack" by Ellie Sawyer, @sjiwhalewatch #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #fallwhalewatching #salishsea #PWWA

Double breach! 🤩 Captain Orion of @sidneywhales caught this synchronized Bigg's killer whale breach in Saanich Inlet last week. #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #salishseasummer #whalewatching #pwwa

#TGIF! How excited are we for the weekend? Almost as excited as T137A "Jack" during this recent breachfest. 🥳 📷: Simon Pidcock, @OceanEco #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #biggsarethebalance #whalewatching #salishsea #pwwa

#TGIF! Are you ready for the weekend? Bigg's killer whale T34B "Sonder" certainly seems to be celebrating! 📷: April Ryan, @sjiwhalewatch #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #salishseasummer #whalewatching #pwwa

Fall is coming and there’s a new baby pumpkin in our waters… meet the newest member of the T75B pod of Bigg’s killer whales 😍 📸: Naturalist Sam Murphy #baby #orcawhale #newborn #biggskillerwhales #whalewatching #islandadventures

Captain Orion from @sidneywhales nailed this shot of three Bigg's killer whale generations: T037 "Rocky" (born in 1979), her daughter T037B "Harald" (born in 1998), and Harald's newest calf, T037B3 (born in 2022). #biggskillerwhales #salishseasummer #whalewatching #pwwa

Shoutout to Captain Orion of Sidney Whale Watching for getting this 🤯 shot of a Bigg's killer whale breaking the surface! #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #fallwhalewatching #salishsea #pwwa

Brotherly love! T065B1 "Birdsall" travels closely behind his new little brother, T065B3 (not yet named) who was born earlier this year.🥹 📷: @Whale_Sightings #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #salishseasummer #whalewatching #pwwa

We won't say Bigg's killer whale T137A "Jack" is the *best* breacher, but he's definitely a nominee! Here he is celebrating after successfully catching a seal near Washington's Flower Island. 📷: All Aboard Sailing (@capthowitt) #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #pwwa

We're loving the colors in this recent photo of 5-year-old Bigg's killer whale T123D "Darcy" as she breaches in the Salish Sea. 🤩 📷: April Ryan, @sjiwhalewatch #biggskillerwhales #biggsorcas #salishsea #whalewatching #pwwa
