Orcas near mics.

There are close transient (Bigg's) calls in Blackfish Sound at the moment. Thanks to Jim & Mary Borrowman for the heads up.

No orcas present.

We just got a report from Bill and Donna Mackay that about a dozen orcas, two large males, were seen milling in Christie Pass. Perhaps these might be the A34s and A36s who we heard earlier in Johnstone Strait!

Performing maintenance

We are still having problems with audio streaming. Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience. Audio will be back as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we've solved the video streaming problem. Just now, we're hearing orca calls in Johnstone Strait, sorry we can't share them with you.

No orcas present.

It is quiet now. The calls were never close but Bec and Mark think they were on the CP system which would put them in Johnstone Strait. Definitely A1 calls. Last year the A34s made a visit late in the year so.....? Perhaps!

Distant calls audible.

Yes Sven! I just walked into the house (getting winter wood) and heard distant As too, a bit later than you. Hopefully we can sort out who and where!

No calls but orcas nearby

Today, Jim and Mary Borrowman watched a group of Biggs whales come south from Weynton Pass. The group paused and changed direction a few times before heading a bit further into Johnston Strait favouring the Hanson Island side. Then just as we thought we heard some distant A1 calls on the rubbing beach system (a surprise) the Biggs turned and headed back out Weynton Pass (1:55pm) where they were joined by more. The group of now 12 Biggs went west into Cormaorant Channel and travelled impressively fast toward Haddington Island. Thanks to Jim for going out in the Gikumi to ID the whales.

Distant calls audible.

Bec has said the the calls were on Flower Island and Local Left. She and Mark saw two humpbacks off the Lab but too difficult to see>
