So. Bald Eagles were where it was at. Then the Hummingbird came along and became the new Eagle. The Hummingbird is tricky though and may take some time. But the Hummingbird better be careful though because the Orca is already becoming the new Hummingbird!
The opportunity to snap a whale in Vancouver just didn’t quite happen, however, the first sightings have now been made. We had heard on the local news that a pod of 20 Orcas had been seen in Elliot Bay (just off Alki Beach) and as luck would have it we were going across to Bainbridge Island on the ferry that very same day.
As we parked the car on the ferry and went up on deck, I grabbed the Canon camera and zoom lens just in case. Good job I did. They may be small but they are the first steps on my whale hunt (purely photographic hunt I hasten to add). Next stop, the San Juans – I’m going to take a fab picture!!
