Boat noise

A boat can really ruin a beautiful evening.

Superb sounds!!

The humpback is back on Flower Island/Blackfish Sound. Just getting going....

Orcas near mics.

Not orcas but dolphins - rather nice calls close to Robson Bight. No calls from the transients, nothing yet from the residents. Apparently the A36s are westing in the eastern parts of Johnstone Strait.

No calls but orcas nearby

As the resident whales cleared eastward in the Strait a grop of transients, first seen in the Plumper Islands and reported by the Lukwa at 11:50am came into Johnstone Strait via Weynton Passage and swam through Blackney Pass just now to Blackfish Sound. The residents have reportedly turned back to the west.

Orcas near mics.

The A5s have gone past Critical Point and are approaching the Main Rubbing beach. The A30s and the I15s have followed them and are headed toward Robson Bight. They went east mid strait together after their time off the entrance to Blackney Pass and Cracroft Point.

Multiple pod calls audible.

We are hearing the A30s, A5s as they arrive in Johnstone Strait.

No calls but orcas nearby

The A30s and possibly the I15s+ are making their way back to the area through Queen Charlotte Strait toward Weynton Pass or the top end of Blackfish Sound.
