Ken Healey took this photo of Orcas in the Ladysmith Harbour Thursday, May 9. Debbie Williams, who was on a boat with Healey when this photo was taken, had spotted the whales around 7 a.m. from the kitchen at the Ladysmith Maritime Society Marine Reception Centre. She says there were probably six to eight Orcas, and from the LMS Community Marina, they followed the whales for a while. After turning around at Page Point, the Orcas came around Slack Point and to Transfer Beach, and she believes they were pushing herring into the beach.
