Northern Fur Seal (Callorhinus ursinus)Observer
jmaughnDescription
Quite small Fur Seal. The light color has me trying to convince myself it's a Guadalupe, but the shape of the snout makes me think it's a Northern. I'm kind of hoping I'm wrong, though. @suepemberton, any chance I'm wrong? :)

Arnoux's Beaked Whale (Berardius arnuxii)Observer
dougalmDescription
Saw this about 300-400m off Titahi Bay beach.
The dorsal fin looks a bit like a late model BMW and Toyota car radio aerial. The fin seems too small for the creature to be an Orca.
About 15 min prior to these pictures I saw the creature fluking - it had a large broad tail fin.
It could be a humpback whale or a species of dolphin
I think these photos were of the one creature but could not guarantee this.

empidonax_wrightiiDescription
Animal beached less than 24 hours before discovery. Later necropsy by Cascadia Research and the Makah revealed species ID and the fact that it was pregnant.
