No calls but orcas nearby

Today, there may have been a BIG surprise. The two groups who rushed in this morning silently at 5am may have been Ls and Ks - that is Southern Residents! They have been spotted and reported south of here.

A30s, A23s, A25s are now in Blackfish Sound, westbound. Camera is off now. Glad at least some of you enjoyed this lovely scene!

The A30s A23s & A25s are all still together, off the entrance to Blackney Pass, and are showing signs of heading in.

The Cliff can see a large group that includes the A30s,A23s,A25s resting, heading west from Robson Bight. They are checking to see if there any new whales.

So here is what has been happening from our perspective - last night we listened to the A30s and the A5s toggle between Robson Bight and the far end of the Reserve. Their calls faded around 1am. This morning we heard calls just before 5am. Then we heard two fairly large groups travel south through Blackney Pass. CP reported their blows at 5:19am and 40 minutes later Boat Bay saw a large group head east past them in the misty fog. All this time we were hearing A5 calls off the eastern end of the Reserve. Lots of whales, not a whole lot to go on. Added to this Kirsty heard 3 blows head north in Blackney Pass about an hour ago.
