The HumpBacks Guardian, Argonaut and KC were on the area early this morning, eating, jumping…! up to the beginning of the afternoon. Only a few Dolphins' calls heard on CRPT. Megan and Stephanie 29 Jun 2015 19:06:23 PDT

No orcas present. Jackie helped out the Lab yesterday by identifying the Bigg's from the Stubbs Island photos as the T36s. Thanks guys, huge help. Helena 28 Jun 2015 10:50:41 PDT

No calls but orcas nearby Blackney Pass is a busy place today for the whales! KC, Argonaut and Guardian have been around…. and a pod of transients came through at 2:30 this afternoon travelling North! Megan and Stephanie 27 Jun 2015 16:40:07 PDT

What a beautiful evening with GUARDIAN on OrcaLab, close the shore and for a long moment. She was on the area early this morning, with Argonaut, Dall's Porpoise around them, and for all the day. Jumping sometimes ! 2 other HB (Crescent?).  Megan and Stephanie 26 Jun 2015 21:06:42 PDT

Guardian has been around Blackney Pass for a few hours now, travelling very close with one other humpback -- our best guess is either Horizon or Argonaut but no definite ID yet  Megan and Stephanie 25 Jun 2015 17:06:25 PDT 3 may be 4 Humpback Whales on the area today. Guardian, Argonaut, probably Crescent (photos). Guardian was travelling with a Porpoise on her side for a moment ; the same curious scene than yesterday. Megan and Stephanie 25 Jun 2015 14:51:09 PDT No orcas present. Yesterday a group of Bigg's travelled west through Johnstone Strait, past Alert Bay and headed to Port McNeill between 10 am and 2 pm. Thanks Dave,Geoff, Roy and Jackie for reporting the group's progress. Helena 25 Jun 2015 08:15:28 PDT

Today is a "festival" of Dolphins (Pacific white-sided dolphins) ! heading North, South, turning around, jumping, from 6am to 12:30. A HB feeding, an other jumping. 3-4 HB on the area. Guardian, Argonaut, and Horizon ? Megan and Stephanie 24 Jun 2015 15:16:21 PDT Yesterday was the Humpback Whales' Day ! From 5am to 9:30pm we could observe them, travelling and feeding, sometimes two together. Guardian, Argonaut, not sure for two others. Dolphins' calls all night long on CRPT... Megan and Stephanie 24 Jun 2015 15:07:47 PDT

4:40pm. Humpback Whales have always been travelling on the area. Megan and Stephanie 22 Jun 2015 16:49:18 PDT This morning 1 may be 2 Humpback Whales on the area. It looks like Argonaut. This afternoon, we can say the HB is ARGONAUT (photos). Dall's purpoises and Harbour porpoises, Sea Lions. Megan and Stephanie 22 Jun 2015 13:45:49 PDT

Superb sounds!! We hear calls on the hydrophone! No orcas, but we're eavesdropping on some dolphins near Flower Island Megan and Stephanie 21 Jun 2015 19:49:27 PDT 11am : GUARDIAN is always on Parson Bay. ARGONAUT on middle channel, heading South. Megan and Stephanie 21 Jun 2015 11:24:56 PDT This morning, from 6:50am to 10h30am, several Humpback Whales have been heading different directions on the channel, sometimes two together. GUARDIAN is one of them. May be FLASH too ? Megan and Stephanie 21 Jun 2015 10:45:52 PDT

No orcas present. Just to repeat Andrew"s report: 5-7 orcas heading west from Blinkhorn to Alert Bay from 8:30pm to 9:10pm. Thanks Andrew, Paul and I are in Alert Bay but missed the sighting! e did see a minke surface off Alert Bay just before noon :) Helena 20 Jun 2015 10:02:18 PDT 8:50 am. A Minke Whale this morning on Parson Bay, going South, and seen for a last time in the middle channel going West.  Megan and Stephanie 20 Jun 2015 09:12:49 PDT

No orcas present. Rainy day on Hanson Island; lots of humpback blows this morning with one ID: Argonaut was here in front of the lab at 7:35 and again at 8:28 but things were very quiet this afternoon Megan and Stephanie 19 Jun 2015 20:39:33 PDT

No calls but orcas nearby About an hour ago Marie reported seeing 3-4 orcas travelling west along Vancouver Island in Robson Bight. Helena 17 Jun 2015 12:49:46 PDT

No calls but orcas nearby Today a lazy day for humpbacks in Blackney Pass, content to move back and forth on the far side. Not so the Dalls porpoise who Stephanie and Megan report came in close to Hanson Is. Meanwhile Jackie reported the T2Cs were westbound off Blinkhorn in Johnstone Strait. The Lukwa was with them a bit later and left them off the Stephanson Islands at 1:30pm. Helena,Stephanie,Megan and Paul 16 Jun 2015 20:57:42 PDT

No orcas present. Nice one! We have extra eyes on the water now and Megan and Stephanie reported that Guardian was in the Pass repeatedly doing breaches a short while ago. By the way Guardian has been identified as female (not sure who identified her but the Lukwa relayed the news, thanks:) Helena 15 Jun 2015 12:09:30 PDT

No orcas present. Got a nice picture of the humpback Guardian's flukes. Very bright in the sunset glow. Just moving back and forth mid channel. Helena 12 Jun 2015 19:24:01 PDT
