ORCAS FEEDING ON GRAY WHALE near MORRO BAY. About a half a dozen killer whales apparently feeding on a gray whale that had been hunted earlier. We saw them swim to the surface with chunks of meat in their mouth’s. We have also been seeing northbound mother and calf pairs of gray whales every day. Nice calm weather, good times!!!
