She began her tour of Grief<\/p>\n
as doom clouds<\/p>\n
enveloped<\/p>\n
the waters<\/p>\n
off Puget Sound,<\/p>\n
shrouding it<\/p>\n
in white foam,<\/p>\n
mirroring<\/p>\n
the sky<\/p>\n
where clouds<\/p>\n
of smoke<\/p>\n
and a complex mix<\/p>\n
of menacing seas<\/p>\n
bury<\/p>\n
the Orcas<\/p>\n
below.<\/p>\n
They are hunting,<\/p>\n
their clicking sounds,<\/p>\n
searching<\/p>\n
like a flashlight, the only sound<\/p>\n
in the chilly<\/p>\n
depths<\/p>\n
where they<\/p>\n
try to sink<\/p>\n
their white sharp teeth<\/p>\n
into the fatty<\/p>\n
coral-colored flesh<\/p>\n
of the King Salmon.<\/p>\n
As the waters start warming<\/p>\n
and the salmon die off,<\/p>\n
a female Orca nicknamed Tahlequah<\/p>\n
swims 1,000 miles before<\/p>\n
dropping her dead calf which she\u2019s<\/p>\n
been pushing with her head,<\/p>\n
in an unprecedented 17-day show<\/p>\n
of mourning.<\/p>\n
