So very quickly under an unbelievably starry sky the A24s,A25s and A23s passed through Blackney to Blackfish Sound.

No orcas present.

it took a while tis morning but the A25s,A24s and A23s were finally located at 10:30am near Windy Point. They were east bound. There has been an unconfirmed report of orcas near the Mainland side in the Wells Pass area. Vague but exciting. The tide will be in flood around 4:30pm.

No calls but orcas nearby

The A23,A24s and the A25s have been coming west for quite a while this afternoon. The Lukwa reports that they are stalled off Naka Creek in the midst of thousands of finning and jumping sockey that are passing through the area. It is quite the sight!

The A23, A24s and A25s are moving along headed west "up" the Strait.

We need to clear something up. Jan you are correct - there it was in our chats with CetaceaLab - mention of A51's new baby seen in April of this year! Nice to get the record straight.

Hmmmm. difficult to track whales if they are silent. They had been heading to the Sophia Island east of Cracroft Point against the tide in Johnstone Strait. Their calls were never close and so far we have not heard them cross the entrance of Blackney. Did they turn or keep going? hopefully, we will soon know more.

The whales finally made it back around to Johnstone Strait via Weynton Pass. Nice to think they didn't want to leave the area just yet. We are hearing A4 calls so far.

The A5s are there in Johnstone Strait as well as the A4s moving eastward. The tide will turn in less than an hour to the flood.

The A4s and A5s continued toward the Ecological Reserve since last report. The last calls we heard were at 7:04am off the far end of the Reserve.
