Distant calls audible. Sounds like the I31s might be continuing to the west. Marie 21 Jan 2013 20:38:54 PST

Orcas near mics. The I31s are now off the entrance to Blackney Pass. Marie 21 Jan 2013 20:02:23 PST

Orcas near mics. We're hearing 'pings' on the Critical Point hydrophone, sounds like the I31s are coming back from their trip to the east. Marie 21 Jan 2013 17:38:39 PST

No calls but orcas nearby You never know what you might see if you look. Having a coffee this morning in Alert Bay, in the middle of a conversation about the day ahead, we spotted orca blows east of Pearse Passage. After a few changes in direction the 4-5 orcas crossed over closer to Vancouver Island in the genera direction of Telegraph Cove. Beautiful back lite blows are making it possible to follow their movements with and without a scope. Maybe they will oblige and visit Marie at the Lab later. Helena & Paul 21 Jan 2013 10:01:56 PST
