Orcas near mics.

They have moved on and are now being picked up by the rubbing beach system. Will they do a winter rub?

Superb sounds!!

Fantastic A5 and Gclan calls in Robson Bight as the whales head east in Johnstone Strait!

Multiple pod calls audible.

There are now G clan calls with the A5s! And they are back off the entrance to Blackney Pass. Did the A8s go and get the whales Leah and Angela saw off of Port Hardy yesterday? If so this might just be the rest of the A5s and the I11s as well as the A8s. Let's hope so!

No calls but orcas nearby

Jim Borrowman got a good look at the orca and it is the A8s with their new baby!!

No calls but orcas nearby

The small group of orcas (we heard A5 calls earlier) just made a large arc and moved from the Vancouver Island side over to Hanson Island. They have just cleared Johnstone Strait headed into Weynton Passage.

Angela and I saw 4 males, 2 females and a juvenile including A60 and I64 yesterday off Hardy Bay yesterday. They were heading to the east around 11am. Perhaps they made it into the Strait?!?

Orcas near mics.

The whales have started to vocalize again in Johnstone Strait, this time with no boat noise!

We're hearing A-clan calls at the entrance to Blackney Pass!! Unfortunately lots of boat noise too.
