On our last night in the bay with orcas, local orca researcher Dan Olsen and two researchers from the San Juans boated over and explained their ongoing research project. Then, later that evening, my buddy Dan paddled over in his kayak with his id books and gave us a master class on the resident orcas of Southcentral Alaska! It was so cool to be there with Dan as orcas swam by and have him show us the id photos in the book and provide the history! Everyone loved the experience, especially me! Here is much more info on Dan’s orcas research; North Gulf Oceanic Society.
Headed back to Anchorage today for the welcome dinner for my second Kenai Fjords Photo Trip. I hope it is good as the last!
