Hopefully, Jared is still on scene so we can find out if they went in for a rub. If weather permits we'll get there with fresh batteries this avy. OL Crew 13 Feb 2013 10:51:59 PST Superb sounds!! AND Jared and Christie spotted the T11s & T77A in Pearse Pass (on the east end of Alert Bay) just after dawn. OL Crew 13 Feb 2013 09:54:58 PST Superb sounds!! The A5s and the GIs have made it into the Bight. Lots of echolocation and the boat noise has subsided!! OL Crew 13 Feb 2013 09:35:54 PST Boat noise It sounds as though the A5s are back. There are also Gclan calls. On Monday there were two reports of orcas heading east in QCS. It sounded as though I64 was in the mix, so perhaps this is the small I11 group. Update on Bigg's orcas: Jared Towers of DFO reported that Monday afternoons orcas off Telegraph Cove were the T069s, T109As & T12A. We haven't gotten the ID's from the 11 Bigg's from the day before.
