No calls but orcas nearby

There were a few Bigg's calls at 18:27. They have been silent since so I'm not sure of their location. Darryl from Sointula reported seeing 2 orca, 1 male & 1 female, in Broughton Strait around 9am this morning heading west. Thanks for the report!

Orcas near mics.

The A5s have been calling in Johnstone Strait since 1300. And the wind still blows a strong NW allowing the sun to shine through.

Orcas hunting fish.

Hopefully these guys are finding something to eat in the Bight. There is definitely a lot of concentrated bird foraging over the past few days.

Sounds like these guys are getting closer to the Bight. :)

Distant calls audible.

The A5s (pretty sure) are in Johnstone Strait somewhere off the entrance to Blackney Pass amongst the huge waves!

There were a few faint Aclan calls just now. They've been quiet since I've been in the Lab and the waves are just rolling in from this NW storm.

The last very faint call was a resting or foraging call (N3) on CP almost half an hour ago.

The A5s are now calling in Johnstone Strait. Also a report from Mary of the A8s around 1400 in Blackfish Sound slowly traveling south. Thanks Mary!

Those Bigg's continued to call just past 1100 this morning in Johnstone Strait. It didn't sound like they were going anywhere at the time. Perhaps having a bight near the Bight. :)

Bigg's?? in JS. Hard to tell behind boat noise!

A few more Aclan calls just now, but not long enough to figure out where they are coming from.

It sounds like the A5s in Johnstone Strait. Stormy day makes it hard to hear them above the waves.
