A calf has been born in "L pod" in the San Juan Islands, possibly bringing the population of the pod to 44 and the overall population of the beleaguered Southern residents to 89. However, the Center for Whale Research warns that at least two other L pod whales may be missing.
The sighting of the calf, on August 12, is welcome news. It is followed by a week of news that the oldest of the Southern residents, K7, was missing and presumed dead. At the same time, the carcass of a killer whale calf believed to have been aborted was found on a Henry Island beach.
