Bigg's annual 2021
Annual Bigg's
sighting map
We're closing out our review of our 2021 orca sightings data with our favorite of the annual maps: a look at Bigg's killer whale reports by season and group size.
Winter reports are in blue, spring in green, summer in yellow, and fall in purple. The size of the dot indicates the relative group size, ranging from a single whale to more than 20.
Do any patterns jump out at you? Two things I see are more spring and summer sightings around the San Juan Islands and more fall sightings in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
These maps are only possible because of all of you that openly share your whale sightings, so thank you!
