Orcas in Puerto Santa Tomas!


On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, we jumped with excitement when we saw whale spouts from our front porch. My brother ran and got his camera and took pictures.

Imagine our surprise when he zoomed in on the photos and saw dorsal fins on the whales! These were not California Grey Whales but they were Orcas, also known as Killer Whales.

I remembered that the news in San Diego had recently talked of a pod of Orcas in the waters of San Diego so this must be the same group.

Click on the photo to enlarge and see the fin.
