Finding orca along the coastline in British Columbia.

I do call them “Ninjas of the Whale World” for a reason. They are quite, they stalk and when they want to they can and will simply disappear. I have seen it too many times than I can count. For this reason, when it comes to searching for these animals - taking your time, not going high speed is a key feature for ensuring you scan a region thoroughly.

From the below photo you can see that they do in fact blend in very well to the coastal backdrop. A major reason to truly take your time when scouting the coastal areas is if they are in fact cruising that close to the coastline - they in fact hunting. As they are mammal hunters the main reason they will be there is for the potential chance of a ’snack’, which would be most probably a harbour seal, aka, rock sausage.
