#orcawatching

Crazy thing happened today - our wedding coordinator showed up on our farm today! It was so nice to see Erin from Lime Kiln Lighthouse, San Juan Island, Washington! Her mom just lives down the road from us. We adore unexpected visitors like Erin 💜💜💜 #lavenderlife #limekilnlighthouse #orcawatching #sanjuanisland (at Twin Flame Lavender Farm & Vibe Aroma) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckgu45ipgIx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

They were named after Dr Michael Bigg who has fundamentally shaped modern killer whale research. The photo ID techniques we apply today, looking at dorsal fin and saddle patch to tell individuals part, were developed by Bigg and his team in the 1970s which was pretty much revolutionary. He also initiated the first orca census which, during that time, was quite unique since this hasn't been done with any other wild animal before. Unfortunately Bigg passed long before his time, but his legacy still remains which is reflected in the animals he studied as well as scholarships and a nature reserve that is world-famous for it's pebble beaches where orcas frequently gather to get a good rub.
