Not a good photo by any measure, but I thought I'd share this with any whale lovers out there. The Orca on the lower left is a juvenile, probably born this season. Given what these creatures are up against, its always exiting to see a healthy newborn and even more exiting to capture one of the quick little buggers.

    You're right. BTW "Orca" means Devil Fish!

    Very cool capture! I'm with you too. It is indeed exciting to see healthy whales, adult or juvenile, given what they are up against. thumb.gif
