FRIDAY HARBOR — The Center for Whale Research at Friday Harbor has counted 86 orcas in this years census of killer whales.
That's down one from last year, but it's not a final number as calves could be born in late summer.
The research center counts and identifies orcas by photographing them. The Puget Sound orcas — in three pods known as J, K and L — spend late spring to fall in the inland waters of Washington and British Columbia.
