Orcas, new calf return to coast
LONG BEACH, Wash. — A baby orca,
its mother and extended family made a re-
turn visit to waters directly off the Long
Beach Peninsula Thursday afternoon after
being photographed at the mouth of Grays
Harbor earlier in the day.
In their latest posting, scientists from
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

new calf. This allowed us to spend more
time with them, get a better look, and get

you can see the fetal folds which indicates
that the calf is only a few days old and this
photo also seems to sum up the calf’s vi-
tality. Heading south, whales foraging off
