A few weeks ago (April 20th 2019), when I was headed down to the park, I saw Orcas.
I had been considering not going out onto the breakwater, but in the end I decided that I would, and when I was looking around briefly, I saw a large fin come up out in the water.
I realized that it must be an Orca, and there were a few more fins that came up before I managed to get my camera out.
I was jittery and could hardly believe it, part of me doubted that they actually were Orcas, so after they went out of sight near the channel I checked my photos for the white spot near their eye. I did get a couple of photos that showed at least some of the spot.
While I was taking photos, I saw that there were a few boats fallowing the Orcas as they headed towards the channel, though most of them broke off as they got closer.
Afterward, I realized that maybe I could’ve run to the bridge and seen if they went under it, or zoomed out on my camera to get a picture of the surrounding scenery with the Orca fins. Both idea’s to keep in mind for next time I suppose, now that I’ve seen and got pictures of them.
I was definitely glad to have gone out on the breakwater and also brought along my camera that day. I would have been a little annoyed to find out that they had been there and I hadn’t seen them, or seen them but didn’t have my camera.
