Aug 17 - Zig Zag and Orion off of Porlier Pass

On August 17th we visited Zig Zag and Orion off of Porlier Pass. The two were spotted travelling and feeding. Our humpbacks are busily building up their fat deposits within their bodies in preparation for their fall migration. Our Humpbacks typically migrate to either Hawaii or Mexico - Zig Zag has been crossmatched to sightings in Hawaii, so we now know that that is where she spends her winter!
