Orca Whale Breaching in Puget Sound Waters
A magnificent orca whale surfaces in the calm, slate-gray waters of Puget Sound, creating gentle ripples across the surface. The distinctive black dorsal fin cuts through the water as the orca's white eye patch becomes visible during this brief moment of emergence. This aerial perspective captures the powerful marine mammal in its natural habitat, showcasing the serene yet dynamic relationship between the orca and its environment. The tranquil waters reflect subtle variations of light, highlighting the graceful movement of this intelligent cetacean as it navigates through the protected waters of the Pacific Northwest ecosystem.

A powerful transient orca whale breaches the deep blue waters of Puget Sound, showcasing its distinctive black and white coloration. The magnificent marine mammal is captured mid-leap, with water cascading off its sleek body as its dorsal fin cuts through the air. This remarkable wildlife moment highlights the natural behavior of these intelligent cetaceans, also known as killer whales, that frequent the Pacific Northwest coastal waters. Transient orcas, unlike their resident counterparts, primarily hunt marine mammals and travel in smaller pods throughout the Salish Sea ecosystem.
