Northern Resident Population Timeline

*\*Under construction\**

The following is a timeline of births and deaths in the Northern Resident killer whale (NRKW) population of northern Washington, British Columbia, and southeastern Alaska. Birth dates before 1971 are largely estimated. Major sources of death year information include Bigg et al. (1990), Ford, Ellis, & Balcomb (2000), and the *Blackfish Sounder* series (1990-2017). Major sources of birth year information include DFO-published photo-identification catalogues for years 2007, 2010, 2014, and 2019. First sightings for whales born before 1990 can be found in Bigg et al. (1990), as can last sightings for whales who died before 1990. Please note that births are generally easier to track than deaths in this population.

There are 16 pods in 3 clans: A clan (A1, A4, A5, B1, C1, D1, H1, I1, I2, I18 pods), G clan (I11, I31, G1, G12 pods), and R clan (R1 and W1 pods). W1 pod is now extinct. Those pods with no duplicate letter designations can be referred to as that letter (i.e. B1=>B, G1=>G, R1=>R, etc.) similarly to the J1, K1, and L1 pods of the Southern Resident community.

It is normal for some whales to not have common names, as most names come from the Vancouver Aquarium's Killer Whale Adoption Program and not all pods were adoptable. G12, H, I1, I2, I18, I31, and most of R pod are composed of individuals without common names. Also, unlike the Southern Resident community, calves are typically not given an official ID until they survive about two years.

\***I4** **Ella** ♀ and **I41** **Broughton** ♂ to I15 Liska (I11 pod) - Originally believed to be twins born to I15, this conclusion is not supported by genetic evidence.
