Orcas near mics.

The A36s just announced their entry into Johnstone Strait after travelling through Blackfish Sound and Blackney Pass. The transients who went by earlier originally went east for a bit in Johnstone Strait and then turned just after 10am and travelled west to Pearse Passage and out to Cormorant Channel near Alert Bay. They were identified as the T65As. There is a humpback in Blackney but no id yet.
