Sounds like the A11s approaching Robson Bight. Momoko 02 Aug 2015 17:12:52 PDT Orcas hunting fish. Nice echo location off Critical Point/Robson Bight - a little forage? Helena 02 Aug 2015 17:11:47 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Here is a catch up: The A11s (including Springer and baby) carried on to the west till they were almost up to Turn Point (western end of Hanson Island). They made a few calls and began to cross Johnstone Strait in the direction of Kaikash Creek. For a while they continued until just before the Western Boundary of the Reserve they turned yet again at 2:22pm. Still no calls as they rolled, rest and relaxed mid strait between Izumi Rock and Kaikash. An hour later they turned again still in a very relaxed mode and still without calls. Helena 02 Aug 2015 17:03:23 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Meagan at CP reported the A11s were between Kaikash Beach and Izumi Rock 2:45pm, heading west. At 3:42pm they have turned to the east. Momoko 02 Aug 2015 17:02:29 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Still silent the A11s elected to go with tide and head west. The tide is about to turn so we will see what happens next. Helena 02 Aug 2015 11:53:29 PDT No calls but orcas nearby The A11s with A73 and her little one passed by the Lab silently after travelling slowly through Blackfish Sound. They are on their way towards Cracroft Point now. Helena 02 Aug 2015 11:39:51 PDT Orcas near mics. Orcas are heading east into Blackfish Sound! Chelsea & Helena 02 Aug 2015 10:00:54 PDT Distant calls audible. Calls are being heard on Flower Island!! Chelsea 02 Aug 2015 09:41:29 PDT Distant calls audible. Looks and sounds like the A4s are continuing westward approaching Little Kaikash Creek. Helena & Dylan & CP 02 Aug 2015 07:52:30 PDT Distant calls audible. It seemed like the A11s were approaching the entrance to Blackney Pass coming from the east . meanwhile, Kate reported a group went past Bere Point around 5:30am. Possibly this was the A34s with A46 who we believe did not follow the A4s back into Johnstone Strait earlier this morning,  Helena & Dylan  02 Aug 2015 07:38:29 PDT Orcas near mics. Sounds like the orcas came back from the east end of the reserve. Momoko & Dylan 02 Aug 2015 06:03:14 PDT Distant calls audible. The A4s kept going to the east from Robson Bight. They arrived at the east end of Reserve at 5:05am. Momoko 02 Aug 2015 05:33:36 PDT Distant calls audible. The orcas approaching the Bight. Momoko 02 Aug 2015 04:17:28 PDT Distant calls audible. We are hearing very sporadic calls. It seems like the orcas entered Johnstone Strait via Weynton Pass. We started hearing them on Critical Point hydrophone at 1:59am. Momoko 02 Aug 2015 03:34:46 PDT Distant calls audible. The A1s and A4s were very vocal on reaching Blackfish Sound. Their calls eventually became very distant and just now a lot closer! Not going anywhere too quickly it seems, at least for the A1s. Helena & Julien 02 Aug 2015 01:36:46 PDT
