That is true of salmon and other fish runs on the Columbia but up here the NW KW pods feed on fish from Puget Sound and the Fraiser River and other areas running north into B.C. for the most part. The last few years our resident pods have been found roaming down into northern California waters for a few winter months looking for fish. They normally don't do that. It's beginning to look like they are starving.

What's interesting about KW's is what they feed on. Some pods only feed on Salmon, some only on seals for example. It is interesting to see what KW's feed on around the world.

Here is a website of a Killer Whale research center near my place in the San Juans of Washington State. J, K and L pods hang out around my home on Stuart Island usually from May through September:

Wikipedia does a good write up on KW's:

We lost a number of whales this last year, one of them was almost 100 years old.
