No orcas present.

We don't believe any of the groups (the A30s, A12s, A36s, A5s, Cs, I11s, I15s, G17s,G29s,G2s, G27s,G31s) who were here yesterday, have returned. They were last seen spread from Wells Passage out to Malcolm Point and all still moving generally west through Queen Charlotte Strait. Lovely morning here though.

No orcas present.

The morning updates are in and it appears there is a group of orcas off Camp Point. Jack identified seven transients who are being very social with each other this lovely morning after all the rain. They are west bound. Yesterday afternoon around 3:30pm Kingfisher Kayak group saw 5-6 ocas come into Johnstone Strait from Weynton Pass. The pictures are being looked at in Telegrapg Cove and we will update when we know more. There were also whales seen heading west at 6:30pm (maybe the same group) off the Wastells near Telegraph Cove by the Songhees. No identification of this group was determined.

No orcas present.

Audio should be ok now. The Lab computer did a security check which we missed. Sorry. No reports, no updates to offer right now.

Distant calls audible.

We're hearing distant calls from transient orcas on the Critical Point hydrophone. Not sure where the transients are, but it's likely they are in western Johnstone Strait.
