the Center for Whale Research has announded that they “can confirm K-pod and most of the remaining L's returned to the San Juan Islands July 4, 2007.

The arriving whales were first reported in Johnstone Strait heading south into Blackfish Sound on July 2, 2007 by Mary Borrowman of Stubbs Island Whale Watching. The whales then engaged in a "superpod" gathering in the Strait of Georgia during the afternoon of July 4, 2007.”

A superpod occurs when two or more pod families are in the same area. and appear to be moving together. or near each other.
