Now available: the free digital download of the Orca Conservancy Southern Resident Eye Patch Guide 2026. Eye patches are one of the methods used to identify individual killer whales. Eye patches are unique to each whale and even vary from the left to the right sides.

This visual reference focuses on J Pod, with K and L Pod guides currently in development. We're still seeking images of a few individuals, and community contributions can help complete the series. If you would like to contribute, you can do so here to support this ongoing project.

Printed booklets are also available for pre-order in our shop!
