The Orca Network announced the sighting of a new baby orca off Whidbey Island in Washington State. The baby orca is a member of "J" pod, often seen in Johnstone Strait in the summer.
The baby has been named "J43". For those of you who feel that the name leaves something to the imagination, rest assured it is temporary. Baby orcas are not assigned a name until they survive their first year of life. I'm thinking it should be named "Webster".
It will be exciting to be on the lookout for this new arrival in 2008 when kayaking in Johnstone Strait .
Anyone planning a baby shower - mother orca requests, in lieu of money or flowers, that salmon would be an appropriate gift.
