No orcas present.

Since yesterday, more information about Rhapsody, J32 who was found floating off Comox BC (upper Georgia Strait) and towed to shore. She was born in 1996, lost her mother in the winter of 1998-1999. A necropsy will be conducted on Saturday. A very sad event for everyone. I believe this leaves the southern residents with only 77 members. Coincidently, this comes when there has been a lot of recent movement of the northern residents, the I15s (orca-live), C6s and Ds (see Mackay Whale Watching) around the Johnstone Strait and Queen Charlotte Strait area in the last couple of days. Yesterday, the Lab recorded Bigg's orcas both in Johnstone Strait and Blackfish Sound.
