No calls but orcas nearby
A quick update about the very vocal Bigg's orcas this morning. They came west in Johnstone Strait. Fortunately the tug with two barges near Robson Bight was headed east and the other tug heading west cleared into Blackney Pass by the time the orcas approached the entrance to Blackney Pass. They remained very vocal while off Blackney. We could hear echo location and thought they were going to come into view. However, they turned and continued west up the Strait. We were able to follow them acoustically and on the CP network camera. There were quite a few there including a young male, a mature male, several smaller fins and one very energetic orangey baby. We did not determine IDs. last seen just before 10am headed west toward the end of Hanson Island.
