Yes, the KILLER WHALES stole the show at the end of the day!
Look at all of the seabirds going for the scraps from the kill!
It was incredible how the BLACK-FOOTED ALBATROSSES followed the KILLER WHALES.
Always a magnificent sight— LAYSAN ALBATROSS, above.

And, just where do you think all of your garbage goes? Avoid plastic!
Arguably the most beautiful shearwater, BULLER'S SHEARWATER.
