Distant calls audible. "Down the Strait the boats go push" The I15s are calling again off the eastern end of the Reserve. We thought that the humpback was going to get started but the tugs were moving through and it didn't happen. Helena 12 Sep 2012 21:20:49 PDT Superb sounds!! Lovely I15s in Robson Bight tonight. OL 12 Sep 2012 20:17:17 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Most of the I15s just slowly passed CP in tight groups to the east. It looked as though they were trying to get some rest after speedily traveling to the west with dolphins surrounding them. The I4s were on the VI side and the majority of the dolphins ended up heading over their way. Beautiful, sunny evening here! Leah & Paul at CP 12 Sep 2012 18:23:53 PDT Distant calls audible. Apparently about 8 of the I15s came over to the CP area and are foraging. Helena,Gigi,Tomoko,Momoko at the lab 12 Sep 2012 16:08:35 PDT No calls but orcas nearby The rub may be over and the I15s headed back toward Robson Bight. They have humpbacks with them and dolphins coming toward them. Helena,Gigi,Tomoko,Momoko at the lab 12 Sep 2012 13:31:02 PDT Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom. This is one very long lovely rub by the I15s. Helena,Gigi,Tomoko,Momoko at the lab 12 Sep 2012 12:34:19 PDT Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom. The I15s moved "down" to the beaches. Were those earlier A1 calls real? Helena & Co 12 Sep 2012 11:43:54 PDT Orcas hunting fish. So lovely! In the Bight. OL 12 Sep 2012 11:01:54 PDT Orcas hunting fish. So lovely! In the Bight. OL 12 Sep 2012 11:01:52 PDT Orcas near mics. We just started hearing A1s calls with the I15s so perhaps the I15s have company. Helena & Co 12 Sep 2012 10:21:28 PDT Orcas near mics. Sounds to us like the I15s turned and went back toward the Ecological Reserve. Meanwhile, the T19s with T18 are mid strait off Hanson Island heading west. There are dolphins closer to Vancouver Island near Kaikash Creek. OL crew 12 Sep 2012 09:34:11 PDT Orcas near mics. Nice wake up- beautiful sunrise and the whales back heading west. The I15s are in good form this lovely morning. Helena & Co 12 Sep 2012 06:19:46 PDT
