Happy Summer 2025! We enjoyed a boat trip with friends sailing from Anacortes, Washington on the Salish Sea and the Strait of Juan de Fuca passing Whidbey Island, and several of the San Juan Islands in search of marine wildlife. Two days of exploring the beautiful open waters granted us many wildlife sighting gifts. We saw sea lions and harbor seals, the T99 pod of Orca’s killer whales, lots of seabirds: Cormorants, gulls, and an oyster catcher with an orange beak and orange eyes, and American Bald Eagles. Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat is pure joy that we appreciate and do not take for granted. Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio, East Bremerton, Washington.
