After a long silence, we're hearing calls from the A4s again. Sounds like they're approaching Robson Bight.

![]() | ![]() No calls but orcas nearby The latest from CP: the A23s are eastbound opposite Little Kaikash (they haven't moved very far) and the A24s who were in a resting line just west of the A23s have woken up a bit and are now heading west. Helena 02 Aug 2011 20:58:10 PDT |

![]() | ![]() Distant calls audible. This is from 6:25pm with a correction re transients T2Cs It has been an interesting afternoon. The T02Cs (small group of transients) came west ,passed the Cliff and stalled at CP. This was all while the residents carried on past the entrance to Blackney Pass and went further west. A group of dolphins rushed to the Strait and put on the breaks when they came near the transients. They then went back into blackney Pass from where they came and the transients went off to the west. We think the A23s and A24s might be turning back to the east as their calls have become louder. Helena 02 Aug 2011 19:14:42 PDT |
