Superb sounds!! A42 calls in Robson Bight, heard on CRPT Debs, Chelsea, Tomoko & Lauren 16 Aug 2016 22:31:20 PDT Orcas near mics. The A42s are approach Robson Bight once more. Lovely calls! OL  16 Aug 2016 22:31:17 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Back and forth, back and forth go the A42s. They have had quite the day along the Vancouver Island shore, even interacting with the humpback, ZigZag for a while near Izumi Rock. They have not been travelling beyond the Ecological Reserve, not even going as far as the Main rubbing Beach, preferring instead to rub at Strider Beach. Each time there it was an extended rub lasting over an hour!. And to the west, likewise, they are not really venturing very far as well. The area between Strider and Kaikash has satisfied them for most of the day. True to this pattern, according to North Island Kayak, they are headed back east. At 9:14pm they were off Kaikash beach. We are happy to get visual reports because this small family has not been very vocal either. OL 16 Aug 2016 22:12:43 PDT No calls but orcas nearby A42s are approaching Kaikash Vancouver Island side, heading West. Chelsea, Lauren & Debs 16 Aug 2016 18:17:56 PDT Orcas hunting fish. The A42s rubbed at Strider Beach for over an hour then headed back to the west. Thank you for the report, Marie! Now we are hearing them on Critical Point hydrophone. Momoko & Kim 16 Aug 2016 16:04:29 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Seems like the A42s left Robson Bight. We are waiting to catch them on the Rubbing Beach camera!

Tomoko, Momoko & Kim 16 Aug 2016 14:15:43 PDT No calls but orcas nearby The A42s turned and heading east quickly past Izumi. Tomoko, Momoko & Kim 16 Aug 2016 13:15:35 PDT No calls but orcas nearby The A42s are going west, closer to Vancouver Island side off Kaikash.  Tomoko, Momoko & Kim 16 Aug 2016 12:57:54 PDT Superb sounds!! We are now hearing calls on the critical point hydrophone. Lucy and Linda 16 Aug 2016 10:26:51 PDT We last heard from the A42s at 1:30am, when they were on the critical point hydrophone. It appears that after that they headed east for the night. We have had a report from Marie that the whales have been seen currently having a leisurely rub at Strider Beach (unfortunately not one we have cameras at). Hopefully they will continue west and make some calls! We shall keep you updated. Lucy and Linda 16 Aug 2016 09:45:13 PDT Orcas near mics. the A42 are in the Bight.
