Tag reveals winter movement of Puget Sound orcas – NOAA Fisheries Service image
You probably already knew about the satellite tracking tag that was put on
K-25 (Scoter) a couple of weeks ago, but did you know that you can go to NOAA’s website and follow where the whales have been on every other day since then? Here’s a link to the site. Pretty cool – they traveled over 1,000 miles and almost made it to San Francisco before turning around and heading north again. If you didn’t see that story, you can read about it here.
