Just a few days left of Minke May! Minke whales are quite fast. We’ll be honest, encounters with them often involve nothing more than a few quick glances at a fleeting fin. If you’re lucky enough to catch them lunge-feeding, however, it can be a real sight!

It's the last week of Minke May! Reaching roughly 30 ft. (~9.1 m) in length and weighing up to 10 tons, minke whales are the smallest baleen whales in the northern hemisphere, and second smallest baleen whales on earth. Only the pygmy right whale is smaller at approximately 20 ft. (6 m) and 7,500 lbs. (~3,400 kg).

We tapped into the archives for Minke May and found not just another breaching minke shot, but an entire breaching sequence! These photos were taken back in 2014 by Thyren Garde-Jacobs who was captaining for at the time. Look at the white "minke mittens" on the pectoral flippers! 🤩

#MinkeMay #PWWA #minkewhale
We interrupt Minke May to share an update about the minke whale's predators, Bigg's (mammal-hunting) killer whales. On Sunday, Sam Murphy of photographed what appears to be a brand new calf traveling with members of the T124A family. The calf was swimming most closely to T124A1 "Bonapartes", but subsequent encounters are necessary to confirm maternity.

Welcome to the Salish Sea, little one!
🥳

#PWWA #MagicSkagit
Time for another Minke May Monday! Of the four whale species seen regularly in the Salish Sea (orcas, humpbacks, grays, and minkes), minke whales breach least often. Naturalist Melisa Pinnow of got this holy grail of a minke shot while watching from San Juan Island a few years ago.

Have you ever seen a minke breach, and if so, where?

#MinkeMay #PWWA #minkewhale
We're continuing Minke May with a minke mystery: Where do local minke whales go when not in the Salish Sea? Researchers aren't exactly sure, but the presence of cookiecutter shark bites on their skin provides a clue. Cookiecutter sharks are small sharks typically found in warmer waters, suggesting that Salish Sea minkes may spend their winters at lower latitudes.

It's a Minke May Monday! Minke whales are more difficult to spot than other Salish Sea whales because unlike orcas, humpbacks, and gray whales, they rarely produce a visible spout. When searching for minkes, the best clue is often birds. Seabirds gather near schools of small fish that minkes feed on.

We're closing out the first full week of Minke May with this delightful clip from Katie Read of It may not seem like much to some, but true minke fans can appreciate how tough it is to document a complete minke whale surfacing from start to finish. Great job, Katie! 👏

#MinkeMay #PWWA #minkewhale
For the third year in a row, we're celebrating Minke May! Minke (pronounced "minky") whales don't get as much attention and the region's orcas, humpbacks, and gray whales, but they're wonderful whales that deserve our admiration.

The scientific name for common minke whales is Balaenoptera acutorostrata which translates in Latin to "winged whale with sharp snout". This pic shows that pointy snout, or rostrum, quite nicely.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Yesterday, one of our members photographed what's sure to be an unforgettable encounter for lucky folks on Ogden Point who got a very close pass from Bigg's killer whale T049A3 "Nat" as he exited Victoria Harbour.
