If anyone has eyes on the water on this calm evening in Hood Canal: July 12, 2 pm - 10+ Pseudoorca or minke or pilot or Dalls in Dabob Bay between Pulali and Whitney Pts. Sorry I cant identify what were seeing. Definitely white-sided Pacific dolphin, 2-3, feeding in middle of Dabob Bay from 7/08, and just now, a pod of about 10 of something Ive never seen in 63 years of observing from my home between Pulali and Whitney Pts on Dabob Bay. Leaping out of the water, probably feeding on runs of Pacific herring as were the white-sided. Too far out to get good pix with cell phones or video. Feeding avidly in clusters, leaping out of water almost completely, sometimes 4 in formation, - this went on for about 45 minutes with maybe a quarter mile movement in front of our viewing spot here at our home. Pacific herring are running now. To me fins looked most like pilot whales, but cant find any sign they occur here. Kirie Pedersen
