This practical and informative field guide to the "gentle art of whale watching" shows you how to observe orcas up close and understand these elusive and often misrepresented creatures of the sea. You'll find facts on the orca's life cycle, tips on planning a whale-watching trip, maps, and a sighting log. Partial proceeds from this book help support the Keiko Foundation.
