No orcas present. Looks like the Mackays saw the I15s in Queen Charlotte Strait today! Thanks for sharing the sighting, very exciting! Helena  27 Feb 2014 20:44:51 PST No calls but orcas nearby Just in from Bill and Donna Mackay: at least 18 orcas heading west between Fosters and Malcolm Island. They have some pictures which they will look at when they get home. Beautiful day! A bumble bee came out too!  Helena  27 Feb 2014 16:39:42 PST No orcas present. We did not hear any more A5 calls during the night. Fingers crossed for some clues as to where they went after 9pm. Helena  27 Feb 2014 08:58:43 PST

No calls but orcas nearby So where did they go? They were there - off the entrance to Blackney Pass - and then they went quiet before 9pm. The day is not finished and tomorrow is another day! Helena  26 Feb 2014 23:15:40 PST Distant calls audible. Correction. It sounds like the orcas are in Johnstone Strait off the entrance to Blackney Pass. We're hearing them on the Parson Island hydrophone as well as on Critical Point. The recording was started at 8:10pm. Helena & Paul 26 Feb 2014 20:27:10 PST Orcas near mics. We're hearing A clan calls on the Critical Point hydrophone! Not sure who yet, boat noise too. Helena & Paul 26 Feb 2014 20:17:36 PST No calls but orcas nearby A thrill for the Port McNeill folk! 8 orcas came west, entered Port McNeill habour and then turned back to the east around Noon. Thanks jackie, Donna and Bill. Helena  26 Feb 2014 14:06:53 PST

No orcas present. Yvonne Maximchuk reports that the A42s (aka A8s) are still around! Today, heading west in Cramer Pass at 1;20pm. Helena  24 Feb 2014 16:22:30 PST No orcas present. All "quiet" since Marie's busy otter, northern resident, Bigg's filled day. The weather has since turned chilly. The trees are covered in snow after the snow storm and the wind is still blowing. But it is all beautiful in winter's grip. Helena & Paul 24 Feb 2014 09:03:53 PST

No calls but orcas nearby The Biggs kept vocalizing until around 22:15 last night. They became more distant on CP and critical point as they slowly moved west in Johnstone Strait all night. Around that same time Wendy & Bill could hear orca going west by Pearse island! Marie 21 Feb 2014 08:06:42 PST

Superb sounds!! Wow these Biggs sure are chatty!! They are still in Robson Bight and the vocals are superb! Marie 20 Feb 2014 18:49:44 PST Superb sounds!! And now some fantastic Biggs calls in Robson Bight!! Marie 20 Feb 2014 17:37:00 PST No calls but orcas nearby The residents (possibly I31s?) have gone quiet now. Helena & Paul could see them in Johnstone Strait westing, favouring the Hanson shore and now it looks like they went north in Weynton Pass. Marie 20 Feb 2014 12:25:01 PST Orcas near mics. WOW a sea otter just went north by the Lab!!! The Gclan group has made it to the CP hydrophone. Marie 20 Feb 2014 10:42:21 PST Distant calls audible. Gclan calls on Critical Point!! Marie 20 Feb 2014 09:48:09 PST

Distant calls audible. There are more distant Gclan calls!! They are on Critical Point so I'm guessing they went south in Weynton with the max. flood. Marie 19 Feb 2014 17:08:59 PST Distant calls audible. I heard a few Gclan pings just before 16:00. I'm unsure of the whereabouts but great to know they are out there!! Marie 19 Feb 2014 16:21:30 PST
