The various groups, led by the I15s are passing through Blackney Pass in lovely moonlight over a calm ocean. The A30s are still in Blackfish, and the A24s are in the Strait. What a night!

 |  Multiple pod calls audible. There is a large group of incoming whales from Donegal Head. Jared Towers let us know in advance that the A30s,the A36s with A12, the I15s, the A23s with A85 and the A35s with (surprise) A73 are coming in from Queen Charlotte Strait where they travelled east all afternoon. The A24s are still in Johnstone Strait as far as we know and the A8s were east today. No idea where A11 and A56 and her baby are at present. Helena 15 Aug 2011 20:24:25 PDT |

|  Distant calls audible. The A24s kept going east. They are off Rubbing Beach now. Tomoko 15 Aug 2011 17:28:50 PDT |
| Distant calls audible. The A24s are vocal again. At 4pm they were off the Western Boundary, spread out, close to vancouver island,heading east. Helena 15 Aug 2011 16:22:32 PDT |
|  Boat noise The A24s turned east around 1:15pm and they are coming east from Blinkhorn. Helena 15 Aug 2011 14:03:12 PDT |
|  No calls but orcas nearby The A24s passed closely to CP and have now crossed the entrance to Blackney Pass headed west. Helena 15 Aug 2011 12:05:47 PDT |
| No calls but orcas nearby The A24s are heading west along the Cracroft Island shore headed toward CP. The A8s are reported off Port Neville in eastern Johnstone Strait. They were still eastbound at last report. The A24s and A8s after moving into Blackney Pass and Blackfish on the slack last night did double back and reentered Johnstone Strait by 12:20am. From they they continued east. We lost track around 5:30am when they were east of the eastern boundary of the Ecological Reserve. Helena 15 Aug 2011 10:45:05 PDT |
| No calls but orcas nearby We're heard no calls since around 5:30am, when the orcas at the rubbing beaches (A4s, A5s) were probably heading back to the east (not sure). Helena 15 Aug 2011 07:21:54 PDT |
| Distant calls audible. We're hearing A4 calls at the east end of the Reserve. Helena 15 Aug 2011 03:08:28 PDT |
