Here’s some good news from the Whale Museum…

Just when we thought we couldn’t get more excited about the recent births in the Southern Resident Community, another calf (J-52) was discovered on March 30, 2015 in Georgia Strait! This is the fourth calf born to the endangered Southern Resident orca community since December, two of those are the newest members of the J16 family group.
