About This Item

Springer, A73

Springer, A73, was a young Orca from the A pod out of Canadian waters. She became separated from her family at a very young age. She spent some time in the Puget Sound area following boats and ferries. Not a typical, or safe, behavior for any Orca. By the time the effort to send her back home was under way, she had some health issues that had to be addressed before she could released. Her successful reintroduction back into her pod was one of those "make-you-feel-warm-inside" news events. Thanks to all who made her freedom possible.

Pretty bug. I love marine mammals; I'm a scuba diver. Not sure I'd like to meet an orca up close, though. %-}

Well be it up to me to take poor Springer from the ocean and back inland. Maybe I'll just put him in the bay and he can pretend he's Humphrey and find his was back out to sea.

Found this in Mt. View, Ca. I'm headed over to Santa Cruz tomorrow so I'll take him back to the ocean and release him there.

Sorry for the delay - been busy around the holidays. Moved Springer back to the Pacific Coast to continue his adventure.
