The winter of 2009 we were beachcomber on Open Bay in the San Juans and discovered a still born baby Orca washed up on the beach. The Eagles were hanging around just waiting for us to move on so they could continue their feast. The dogs were greatly interested in their find but listened well not to tear into it. The Whale Museum in Friday Harbor was very interest and said this was only the 7th still born ever found. It is amazing what washes up on Open Bay.

Aww...poor baby whale.... what kind of whale is that do you know Jigsaw? Why is he half pink half grey?
ReplyDeleteWe go to Point Roberts, WA sometimes, and they have a little whale museum at the Lighthouse Park.
Too bad you didn't get to eat some sashimi!
