Sorry everyone, but our internet connection has gone down again & will remain down until we can replace several radios in our wireless network. This will be a costly & time consuming excercise, but hopefully we'll be back again within a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, we wish you all the very best for this festive season... please take good care of yourselves and each other, and thank you, so much, for your continuing support of our efforts!

No orcas present.
We still have not heard the A12s today and wonder now if they were leaving when last heard. Time will hopefully make it all clearer. Today, is wet & windy - not at all like yesterday!

The A12s are back in the area
Distant calls audible.
An amazing sunrise this morning and distant calls as well!

We think the A12s may be heading back toward the Ecological Reserve now.

Southern and Northern Residents
No orcas present.
As promised. We are now able to report which whales were seen off Alert Bay on Nov.24th. The DFO has confirmed that it was part of the Ls. This is only the 2nd time that we know of that southern residents have chosen to head north in the late Fall via Johnstone Strait. Two years ago, southern residents came through in early December. At that time, it was dark so pictures were not possible. However, they were vocal. This time, we don't believe they were vocal while in range of our hydrophones but Paul was fortunate to be in town at the time they passed by and was able to take a few pictures. L85,L41,L77,L78,L79 and L25 were identified from the pictures. Thanks to Jared and Graeme for their help with the identifications.

And now for Northern Residents! We are hearing both A5 and A1 calls in Johnstone Strait near the entrance of Blackney Pass.
