Pod of Female Orcas

I like this shot because the two lead Orcas are blowing and you can see the drops
spattering on the surface.

Species: Orcinus orca (killer whale, orca)

Female and Male Orca

The male in front has a much larger dorsal fin than the female.

Seals on Belle Islands

Pretty much snack sized Killer Whale snacks.  They were on the same chain of
Islands as the Sea Lions, but they were in a separate area.

Species: Phoca vitulina (Harbor Seal)

Sea Otters Looking At Us
We startled these guys - they came up looking the other way (probably for kayakers) and when I took the first exposure, they turned to see the noise (shot) and then took off.

Just the Head of a Seal
As the Kayak drifted closer, my temptation was to zoom out (towards 80) to continue including the whole animal. I decided to do otherwise.

Dive Sequence By Rocks
Here three whales were feeding quite close to a rock wall - the water is about 130 feet deep here. This Humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) has most of one fluke missing.
Species: Megaptera novaeangliae (Humpback Whale)

Fluke And Flippers
They don't always dive straight down, or surface just to breath. We saw this pair just rolling around at the surface before a dive.

Two Humpbacks Together
Three humpbacks (Megaptera novaeangliae) were swimming in close formation - here two surfaced together.

Sea Lions Diving In

I'm not a huge fan of the 200-400 lens - sure it gets you there, but
the image just isn't sharp.
