FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. (AP) — The Center for Whale Research at Friday Harbor says K pod has returned to Washington waters with a new calf.

The calf was spotted Tuesday with the pod near Stuart Island in the San Juans. It’s been labeled K43 and it appears to be about 5 months hold.

KING-TV reports there are now 20 whales in K pod, one of three pods that spend much of the year in Puget Sound waters.
