Pilots snap photos of killer whales near Churchill

Killer whales made an appearance in Hudson Bay near Churchill on Tuesday.

Pilots Brian Fergusson and Eric Polzin managed to snap some photos of the orcas after heading up in a helicopter around noon.

Polzin said its rare to catch a glimpse of the whales because they only show up about once a year.

He said based on their formation, he thinks they were trying to take advantage of the low tide and hunt

Polzin and Fergusson said it was atreat to see them because they are typically busy with tours and work at Hudson Bay Helicopters and rarely get a chance to see the sights like tourists do.
