Orca Song

We boarded the Orca Song for a 7.5 hour wildlife and glacier tour and it was THE BEST DAY EVER!  Calm seas, blue skies and the most wildlife they have seen on any tour this year.
Here is the tally
sea otter
bald eagles
humpback whales
Minke whale (rare sighting)
Dall's porpoise
Fin Whale (extremely rare sighting) 2nd largest whale in existence
harbor seals
puffins
mountain goat and kid
sooty shearwater
Kittlitz's murrelets
kittiwakes
common murres
sea lions
a glacier calving
oh my!

......and, according to the shuttle driver Seward had about 6 inches of snow this past winter and temperatures rarely get below zero.......





THAT'S ALL FOLKS.....
