Nick and Stripe have been circling in Blackney Pass for the past 4 hours. Just now 20+ dolphins raced past them to the south porpoising along the way! Drizzly & windy evening here. Leah 30 May 2012 20:13:48 PDT

Update from Cetacealab: They had Rclan calls at 6am yesterday. Later in the day the A11s passed by their lab. Finally! Leah 30 May 2012 19:56:35 PDT

Humpbacks: Nick and Stripe just headed south, mid pass through Blackney. Nice to see them again! Leah 30 May 2012 16:44:17 PDT

Nick (BCX 0565) & Stripe (BCZ0004), the humpbacks, are heading east in Johnstone Strait. 10+ Dall's porpoise are foraging in Blackney Pass and very distant Pacific white-sided dolphins can be heard somewhere near Robson Bight. The day is shaping up to be very busy on the cetacean front! Leah 29 May 2012 17:59:17 PDT

No calls but orcas nearby Christie reported the T36s & T99s hunting seals at Pearse Islands this morning. Unfortunately, they're not within hearing range of our network at the moment. Leah 29 May 2012 10:42:23 PDT

Thanks to an entire team of North Island marine mammal folks, prawners and DFO a humpback was successfully disentangled from numerous prawn traps yesterday near Minstrel Island. It's a wonderful success to celebrate the cooperation of so many concerned individuals!

There are ~ 30 pacific white sided dolphins porpoising into Parson Bay at the moment. Drizzly, calm morning here. Leah 28 May 2012 09:34:09 PDT

We just had a humpback head north in Blackney Pass. There were also ~6 dolphins mid pass. AND there was an elephant seal in the mix. What's next... Leah & Marie 21 May 2012 17:18:10 PDT

We just heard a few quick dolphin calls in Johnstone Strait.

KC the humpback just slowly headed north in Blackney Pass. Luckily, the north westerlies subsided and the seas are calm.

The Mackays reported two HB's in Knight Inlet earlier today. Then around 4pm Jackie spotted 2 HB's heading west in front of Pt. McNeill. Nice to know that these guys are around!!

It has been very quiet on the cetacean front these days. However, the sun has been shining in full force and it is very welcomed! Today the NW wind brings large rolling seas through Blackney Pass. Leah 16 May 2012 17:12:16 PDT

No calls but orcas nearby
There was a report earlier this afternoon of ~15 orca abeam Powell river heading west at a fairly good speed. Breaching was noted. At ~6:30pm another report came through of orcas heading east in Johnstone Strait towards CP. We haven't heard any calls as of yet.

Distant calls audible. There are California sea lions barking on critical point hydrophone, awesome!!! Marie 08 May 2012 19:43:54 PDT

No whales as of late. But there have been a number of Steller sea lions, Dalls porpoise and Pacific white-sided dolphins taking advantage of the huge full moon tidal exchanges. Marie 08 May 2012 10:22:22 PDT

Superb sounds!!
Wow! These guys have been calling for almost 4 hours now in Robson Bight! Some of these calls are also on CP now, so they are slowly heading west.

Distant calls audible. There are very distant calls in Johnstone Strait, so we're not sure who it is. There was a report of 18 transient's traveling west from Chatham Point this morning, so perhaps this is them!?! Leah & Marie 01 May 2012 20:59:50 PDT

Orcas near mics. We're hearing a few transient calls in Robson Bight at the moment. Perhaps it is T020 & T021?!? Leah 01 May 2012 14:42:42 PDT

No calls but orcas nearby Spotted T020 & T021 at Parson Island just before they headed out of view, as they made their way towards Johnstone Strait! Beautiful, calm seas out there today :) Leah 01 May 2012 13:55:34 PDT
