This Blog Post is an Index to all the Blog Posts covering my Blackfish sightings. The following Blog Posts cover all my Rorqual Whale, Baleen Whale, Sperm Whale, Beaked Whale, Beluga Whale & Narwhal, Blackfish, Atlantic Dolphin, Pacific Dolphin and Porpoise Posts.
The taxonomy follows the Marine Mammals of the World (Second Edition) book. There are links to the Posts against each entry below. Alternatively, you can click on a particular species in the Keywords section on the right side of the Blog to show all Posts for the selected species. Finally, selecting the Cetaceans Keyword to show all Cetacean Posts. I will continue to add to the photos and links as I write new Cetacean Blogs.
Strictly, the Blackfish group are part of the wider Dolphin group, however, I've split them out for convenience. The following Cetacean species are included in the Blackfish group: Orca, Short-finned Pilot Whale, Long-finned Pilot Whale, False Killer Whale, Pygmy Killer Whale & Melon-headed Whale.
