Killer whales have returned to a cove in Washington's Puget Sound

Killer whales in Puget Sound may be designated as new species of orca

During the fall, Southern Resident killer whales often visit the Puget Sound. This year, SR3’s research crew was in the field collecting photogrammetry data to assess their health during this time period. Orca Conservancy captured this amazing video of the SR3 team at work, all the way from shore! 📷Southern Resident killer whales in the foreground, with SR3’s orange research vessel in the background, catching the drone after a scientific flight.
