No calls but orcas nearby

Angela and James reported 2 male and 2 female transients heading west at Ledge Pt. (Pt. McNeill) around 1:30 this afternoon. There may have been more orcas, but there was quite a bit of chop with the strong SE winds.

8 transients quietly traveled south in Blackney Pass at 11am. A group consisting of 1 male, 1 female and a juvenile swam along the far side of the pass while 2 females, 2 juveniles and a calf swam ~200m off the lab. We were able to observe them for half an hour before they headed into Johnstone Strait. ID's to come!!
