Bigg's Spy Hopper

I spent a good part of last summer in my friend Anthony's boat we cruised a large area daily looking for whales and wildlife. This is a Bigg's Whale more commonly known as a Transient. Completely different than the fish-eating A, D and G Pod Northern Residents. The Transients prey on mammals including Sea Lions, Seals and Porpoise/Dolphins, other whales, fish and sea birds. Known as "Wolves of the Sea" the pod had just made a kill, the spy-hopping was celebratory.

 

Anthony offers a variety of great tours @ "https://www.abucciphotography.com/photo-tours"
