Orca

An orca swimming up Endicott Arm, Tongass National Forest, Alaska.

I assume this is a transient orca ( marine mammal feeders) since there really aren’t any salmon streams that I’m aware of, but plenty of harbor seals. The transients can be hard to photograph when heading into a place with seals since they surface very infrequently, and quickly to avoid being detected. The salmon eating orcas are known as resident orcas.
