Orcas near mics. The groups have moved east to the rubbing beaches. Helena  22 Aug 2015 22:47:35 PDT Orcas near mics. The I15s came in as well and we are also hearing A4 calls in the mix. A38 was the last whale to clear to Johnstone Strait. Helena  22 Aug 2015 20:48:28 PDT Orcas near mics. At least the A30s (so far) are coming back into Blackney Pass from Blackfish sound. http://orcalab.click2stream Helena 22 Aug 2015 20:22:31 PDT Multiple pod calls audible. We still have Internet woes. But while that drama continues so do the whales. The I15s and A30s after rushing towards Robson Bight. They picked up the A23s and A25s from somewhere and even perhaps the A52s (who have been with these groups and not with the rest of the A35s). The groups shifted toward the rubbing beaches especially Strider (again). Afterwards they returned west with the A30s back off Robson Point first. They all have marched up the Strait and are currently spread between the top (west) end of Hanson Island and Blinkhorn on the Vancouver Island side. The A42s were heard off the western end of Blackfish as they continue to keep their own company. Helena  22 Aug 2015 14:41:55 PDT Orcas near mics. The A30s and I15s rushed through to Johnstone Strait via Blackney Pass. The A42s are still west off Bauza and Blinkhorn. Helena  22 Aug 2015 09:53:49 PDT Distant calls audible. We are hearing distant calls and echo location on Critical Point hydrophone. Momoko 22 Aug 2015 07:56:06 PDT Distant calls audible. At least some of the A5s (A23s?) are back to Johnstone Strait through Blackney Pass. the A30s and the I15s are still in Blackfish Sound but it's difficult to hear the calls in the loud boat noise. Tomoko 22 Aug 2015 05:59:00 PDT Multiple pod calls audible. The I15s are back! We are hearing I15s, A30s, A4s and A5s on Flower Island hydrophone.
