Migration patterns are still poorly understood. Despite decades of research, we don't know where the summering orcas near Washington state and British Columbia spend their autumn, winter, and spring times. Some of the identified transient pods have been repeatedly seen from southern Alaska to central California. Some of the resident pods' ranges vary from 200 to 800 miles. Some have been documented as moving 100 miles up the Columbia River in the US. The studies continue...
