Lots of action today, around 9 am this morning we spotted about 35+ Pacific white sided dolphins travelling quickly in front of the lab while some stayed and foraged for awhile. Then we had a humpback come in and was joined by a second humpback around 10 am and both had lots of Dalls porpoises for company. Around 2 we had another visit from a humpback who's been foraging off Parson Island for an hour now Kate 31 May 2013 14:54:32 PDT

Distant calls audible. This morning the dolphins were chatting briefly. We did not get a location on them but they stopped coincidently at the time a small cruise ship entered Blackney. yesterday evening just before dark a group of Bigg's orcas passed south through Blackney. once they got into the Strait they became vocal. Just before they had disappeared from our view in the very last of the light Kate thought she saw them toss something in the air so perhaps they had a successful hunt. Just now a humpback is making its way south through Blackney. Helena, Paul and Kate 30 May 2013 08:27:40 PDT

No calls but orcas nearby Just before 10pm last night, in the fading light, 5-6 Bigg's (one male) travelled south in Blackney Pass and into Johnstone Strait.  OL Crew 30 May 2013 07:47:52 PDT

No orcas present. Thanks to the Marine Detective Jackie we now know the humpback was 11 year old KC! Helena  29 May 2013 15:41:56 PDT

No orcas present. Just when one needed to see a whale there was a lovely humpback heading south through Blackney Pass mid channel. Heard the blow first about 2:30pm then watched several breaths before disappearing around Gab's Rock toward Johnstone Strait. No flukes but we did get a picture of the dorsal fin which we will pass on to Jackie, Christie and Marie. :) Helena, Paul and Kate 29 May 2013 14:59:14 PDT

No orcas present. It was a nice day, windy and grey but nice just the same. Early this morning between 2 and 4am the dolphins were chatting and occasionally during the day. neil reported a small group in Johnstone Strait. We had 4 juvenile sea lions in our bay rolling over each other, sometimes looking playful and sometimes quite focused. Helena  28 May 2013 16:24:01 PDT

No orcas present. Today's humpback report from Jackie: KC was seen in Johnstone Strait surrounded by dolphins while Ariel was spotted by the Lukwa in Weynton Pass and earlier in Christie Pass travelling with Chunky. Old familiar whales returing for yet another season! Welcome back! Helena  26 May 2013 22:49:45 PDT

Distant calls audible. I can just make out a few distant calls from the dolphins. Helena  25 May 2013 20:02:25 PDT No calls but orcas nearby ...not orca but dolphins: Jim Borrowman reports that there are 200-300 dolphins heading east in Johnstone Strait at the moment!  Helena  25 May 2013 19:14:44 PDT Superb sounds!! Heard some very chatty dolphins this morning off Parson Island! Kate 25 May 2013 04:25:03 PDT

Thanks to Paul Setzermann, video streaming will be back tomorrow!:) Paul 18 May 2013 14:17:19 PDT

We have a problem with streaming video, hope to be back soon, but it may take a while. Thanks for your patience Paul 18 May 2013 12:50:40 PDT

Audio streaming is back, thanks to Matt! Paul & Helena 17 May 2013 08:42:38 PDT

No orcas present. Just before 7pm we saw our first humpbacks in Blackney Pass! There were two. We last saw them heading north past the Parson Island light. Neither presented their flukes but we managed to get distant pictures of dorsal fins. We will send these on to Christie and Co to have a look. This was of special interest after the incident where a breaching whale was hit accidently by a boat in johnstone Strait. Everyone is now on the look out for a possibly injured whale. The driver of the boat was badly injured and we hope his recovery goes well. Helena,Kate & Paul 16 May 2013 22:16:25 PDT
