T14 hunts seals during snow flurries
in the Gulf Islands, April 19, 2008

Snow flurries did not stop these hardy whale watchers from observing T14 as he hunted Harbor seals in the Gulf Islands, April 19, 2008.

Gulls pick up a scrap of Harbor seal meat following a kill.

Gulls surround T14 in hopes of food as he searches for prey in the Gulf Islands.

Thanks to Ivan on Western Prince we were able to see T14 take out a couple of seals this afternoon during snow flurries between Forrest and Domville Island. The gulls and even a bald eagle were able to take advantage of a few scraps left behind. He was originally picked up near Mandarte Island at around 1:30 p.m. heading north west. He was last seen north of Coal Island heading west towards Satellite Channel at appoximately 2:30 p.m.
