NOTES: L90 Ballena is surfacing with a bow-backed, stiff way, which CWR has begun to notice as when she is presumed to be pregnant. This is her fourth potential, and at 29 years old, she has never been seen with a living calf, likely due to her smaller  size. “ L90 currently has the sway-backed look she has had in the past when we have suspected her to be pregnant. “

L89 Solstice is Missing “ The L54s and L88 were not present during this encounter. Everybody else in L pod was photographed by the end of the day with the exception of L89. Our friend and colleague Jared Towers had had the L12s up off northern Vancouver Island in front of Alert Bay on January 13th and L89 had not been present then either. L89 was last seen on November 5th, 2021 and he looked normal at that time. This is worrisome but we will continue looking for L89 until the rest of the southern residents are thoroughly documented in 2022. “

Encounter #40 (Sequence 2 & 3) - Sept 5, 2020

NOTE: As far as I know, this encounter hasn’t officially announced as being released by the Center for Whale Research (via email that they send out when they’ve posted an encounter). Because of this, some pictures might be added at a later date if they ever send out an email and I have ID some of the whales to the best of my ability as some of the pictures had no captions, but IDable photos. I’ve done IDs to the best of my ability and if you notice a mistake, feel free to point it out and I’ll fix it asap.
