Seems like the I15s are not really moving! Probably they are waiting for the tide. We are still hearing them on Critical Point hydrophone.

Orcas near mics.

Sounds like the I15s are near the east end of the Reserve now. Meanwhile the rest of the groups sound like they have gone as far as Nodales Channel in lower Johnstone Strait (thanks to Jake Etzkorn for the report)

After hearing Humpback calls for 5 hours, orcas are back to our hydrophone range. We are hearing I15 calls (at least) on Flower Island hydrophone.
