For the first time this year, on October 15, the L54 blended family, consisting of Ino (L-54), Coho (L-108), Keta (L-117), and two adult males, Nyssa (L-84) and Wave Walker (L-88), came into the inland waters with J Pod.

They spent several hours in Haro Strait, foraging on Chum salmon. The late afternoon sun highlighted their exhalations,as they traveled in a south easterly direction.

The next day, J Pod and the L54 group were seen in Puget Sound, continuing their foraging on what appeared to be an abundant Chum salmon return.
