SEPT. 20, 2012 - CBC RADIO News reported today that on Sept. 18 a  
whale-watching boat encountered an ORCA or KILLER WHALE about 12 km.  
nw. of Brier Island.  Apparently good looks were gotten, breaches  
were observed, and this whale has a notch in its dorsal fin, which  
matches earlier sightings of an orca off Grand Manan Island this summer.

This tour-boat also saw good numbers of humpback whales, a surface- 
feeding fin whale, a minke whale, dolphins, and harbour porpoises.

Here is a link to today's report in the Chronicle Herald, which also  
has a nice photo of the breaching orca in the newspaper but not on-line.

Orca gives watchers thrills
TheChronicleHerald.ca - 7 hours ago (Thurs., Sept. 20/12)
It was like hitting the whale-watching jackpot. An orca, or killer  
whale, not commonly seen in Nova Scotia waters, put on an hour-long  
show ...

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
