![]() | ![]() Distant calls audible. The A23s (with A85) and the A24s are making their way back to the east along the Vancouver Islanf shore between Blinkhorn and Little Kaikash.

![]() | ![]() Distant calls audible. The A23s and A24s are together again off Telegraph Cove (where they started this morning!). Still sort of west bound but really busy foraging too. Helena 04 Aug 2011 16:45:48 PDT |

![]() | ![]() No calls but orcas nearby The A24s are very quick! They have passed CP already and are crossing the entrance of Blackney Pass toward the eastern end of Hanson Island. Helena 04 Aug 2011 14:51:07 PDT |

![]() | ![]() Orcas near mics. I see there are a few gaps in the reports so here a brief summary: the A24s moved into mid strait and at 1:17pm they were opposite the Cliff. The A23s kept going eat to the eastern end of the Reserve. At 2:15pm the A24s were reported heading west toward CP from the Sophia islands. They are still heading to CP and perhaps taking the "inside" route to CP, The A23s are westbound as well from the rubbing beach area. Helena 04 Aug 2011 14:44:04 PDT |

![]() | ![]() Distant calls audible. Good morning! There was some movement during the night after most of the calls ended off the east end of the Reserve just after midnight. At 4am, CP heard a few calls and then blows across toward Vancouver Island. Right now we are trying to locate the source of these A5 calls in Johnstone Strait. Helena 04 Aug 2011 07:33:57 PDT |
