Orcas swim from Puget Sound to Monterey in 11 days

FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. -- A group of killer whales recently swam from Puget Sound to Monterey Bay, Calif., - nearly 1,000 miles - in 11 days.

Ken Balcomb of the Center for Whale Research at Friday Harbor says, "They were really scooting."

The Kitsap Sun reports members of L pod were photographed in the sound on Feb. 20 and in Monterey Bay March 3. They traveled about 90 miles a day or about 4 miles per hour.
