Wild Ocean Whales Society (WOWS) caught people's attention recently by reposting a video taken by Shirley Young in July 2024 onto its .
The video shows a pod of six orcas surfacing, blowing and breaching near Young's boat, which appears to be in the Desolation Sound area.
Young can be heard screeching "that's incredible," when she sees the six whales surface in synchronicity, while one whale breaches in the distance.
"We just had the T019s plus others for a total of about seven to nine transient Biggs orca northbound this morning towards Lund," said WOWs director Susan MacKay in an email to the Peak on May 22. "Our new report is about to be published this weekend."
WOWs volunteer Ivan Ng reported on the WOWs website, , that over the past month, many transient Biggs orca were observed. They were seen in Burrard Inlet in Vancouver, along the Sunshine Coast at Gibsons and Powell River, and in upper Georgia Strait and adjacent waterways.
