I love Orcas! Here's some shots from two weekends ago, they came quite close to us. The big one had the hugest dorsal I've ever seen, looked 10' tall. Maybe I'll post some better ones soon, still sorting out those pics. I can only imagine what it looks like when an Orca takes a shark...

LOL... yeah I should have thought of that... I knew you were close to that area. Gorgeous country (and water)... about 700 mile straight west of me right now!

Re: Orcas Dive to Eat Sharks - New Study
Halibut populations seem to be alright in this area, though probably not as good as at times in the past. As with most areas of the oceans, there has been a decline.
