Distant calls audible.

Just after 7am we began to hear A calls in Blackfish Sound. The calls were extremely distant. Earlier the A30s,A4s and A5s went through Blackney Pass after coming west in the Strait. Their calls ended around 3:40am and so perhaps these groups are the very distant As we heard most recently. Going Weynton?

Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom.

I feel that we may have missed some movement. The calls of the I15s suddenly became very close on Critical Point. They then rushed down to the beaches and had a short intense rub. Then in the distance we heard 1 R clan call! There are also whales being reported at the eastern end of Queen Charlotte Strait.

We just started to hear the A12s at the rubbing beaches. They have come from the east. The Tuan also reported the A30s left the out going group and one hour ago they were at Lizard Point headed back into the area.

Orcas near mics.

The A12s moved quickly to Robson Bight. The Bs are there as well and the two groups seem to be travelling together. It is a nice mix of their calls.
