No calls but orcas nearby

The first part of the A34s (plus A46) went east past the beaches but the following group went in for a fairly lengthy rub. Could barely see in the fading light but still possible to make out their shapes, bubbles etc.

We think the A34s are passing Robson Bight now. A46 is with them and they passed OrcaLab in three groupings headed for the Strait earlier. We are waiting now to see if they go into the beaches.

Distant calls audible.

We have heard a couple of calls! Great news from Kate but trying to sort out the report from Hermann and Janie at Cetacealab. Hermann later reported that they could not confirm the A34s and A46 so that might be a clue. Anyway great excitement here, cameras ready and we are recording!

No orcas present.

Lots of humpbacks keeping us busy. Meanwhile,Cetacealab just reported the following!: "we just got a report from Nicole and Bunker who are with the A34s and A35s in Camaano Sound. They confirmed that A46 is there, most likely with the A34s and Springer and her calf are there too..... Thought you would enjoy this update!!!!!"
