A quick summary of this busy day: After the Lukwa gave us a head's up that the A23s and A25s and A30s were coming towards us close to the Hanson Island shore we waited and were delighted to find out that the A42s were with them as well. Not long after their passing us by and carrying on toward Johnstone Strait we got word that the I15s and the G27s were off Bold Head. Dave Towers estimated the time we would see them and in they came on schedule! They were further over that the others had been but they too were all together. We tried to count them but there were a lot of whales and had to be content to identifying the different groups according to the position of the males, I76 and I77. This large group shifted to Johnstone Strait and travelled east still in a tight group with very little vocalizing until going into the rubbing beaches. The A42s preceded them to the Main beach which some went into Strider beach. This went on for some time with the whales shifting west and east. It should be mentioned that the A30s headed off in the opposite direction to the west at some point. Now Marie reports that the groups in front of her and the Bight have begun to move to the northwest. Helena  15 Aug 2015 16:27:53 PDT Distant calls audible. Possibly the A42s and part of the I15s enjoyed rubbing at Rubbing beach. Others are still west of them. Tomoko and the lab crew 15 Aug 2015 14:54:53 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Thanks to the Lukwa for a report: Orcas coming into Blackney Pass! we have been hearing a few A23/25 calls in Blackfish Sound, with A30s following. live streaming on the lab camera: http://orcalab.click2stream.com/ Megan H 15 Aug 2015 10:06:45 PDT Orcas near mics. Beautiful morning here at Orca Lab! A30s & A5 calls are heard on Flower Island. Chelsea  15 Aug 2015 08:12:48 PDT Distant calls audible. Morning, we are hearing distant A1 calls in Blackfish Sound. Helena  15 Aug 2015 07:43:46 PDT No orcas present. The A5s like the I15s before them travelled through Weynton Passage to Blackfish Sound where the A30s were before them.
