No orcas present.

Good morning! Yesterday afternoon we heard the A4s & A5s again in Johnstone Strait. We think they left the area during the night. We did not hear the A12s. Have a great day! The 2005 IWC has ended. Paul will be back soon.

Good afternoon ! I have posted the OrcaLab website below for those interested in Paul's report from the IWC. He is inUlsan, Korea at the moment. The last two days of the main meeting have been tense and exciting. Results have been close. The BBC are also filing pretty coprehensive reports. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4114368.stm. Meanwhile, we here at the Lab have been enjoying the humpbacks in the area. The mum & calf pair just went by on their way to the Strait. We have heard reports of the A1s and the Rs being seen on the northern coast. http://cetacealab.org It won't be long now! http://www.orcalab.org

Hello everyone! It is rapidly becoming that time of year again. As many of you already know, the entire southern community has returned to the San Juan area. We are still waiting for the northern residents to arrive. There have been a few sightings on the north coast but so far it has been pretty quiet down here. There are three humpbacks in the area. Jackie Hinderling thinks that one of the humpbacks may have been around last year and has returned with a calf. We have been also watching dalls porpoise, lots of sea lions and many eagles. We are looking forward to the start up of "Live" and have been busy getting ready.
