Ol' Tom, a killer whale who's been spotted with some regularity off the coast of Nova Scotia over the last eight years, was seen Saturday on a whale watching expedition near Brier Island. Shelley Lonergan, the research coordinator with Brier Island Whale and Seabird Cruises, said it's been almost one year since Ol' Tom was last seen. "Orcas [killer whales] are normally pod oriented, so they usually are in groups. Lonergan said there were about 20 to 30 dolphins with Ol' Tom yesterday. The sighting was originally made by the whale watching company's owner, who spotted Ol' Tom from land and let the crew know where to find him.
