Knight Inlet Lodge News: News 2008 - Last summer we had a good salmon return to our rivers so the bears were well fed and very active. There was lots of interaction and lots of great viewing. The Orca were exceptionally playfull. One female actually "spy-hopped" right next to one of our boats and had a "conversation" {chirped} with a couple of astounded guests. The Humpback were around most of the season with the calves doing lots of exciting leaps. |
