Superb sounds!! After an afternoon rub at the Main Rubbing Beach, the A30s, A42s and the I15s have headed back west to Robson Bight. They are now all having a fishy dinner in the reserve and can be heard on our Critical Point hydrophone.  Lucy and Myriam 24 Aug 2016 18:20:29 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Some of the A30s, A42s and I15s had rub at the rubbing beach. Now they look like going back to the west. OL CREW 24 Aug 2016 17:48:22 PDT No calls but orcas nearby The I15s went into Johnstone Strait through Blackney Pass. They went east, met up with the A30s in the Bight. Now A30s and the I15s are on the way to the beaches. The A42s are little bit behind, just about to clear from Critical point.   OL CREW 24 Aug 2016 16:36:41 PDT Orcas hunting fish. We started hearing the echo location on the Critical Point hydrophone! Must be from the A30s. Sounds like they are in Robson Bight. What a exciting day! OL crew 24 Aug 2016 13:22:34 PDT Distant calls audible. Bill on "Naiad" reported that the I15s are almost Dong Chong Bay! Stay tuned! OL crew 24 Aug 2016 13:16:06 PDT Distant calls audible. The A42s were reported off Bauza cove right at the shoreline, heading for Beaver Cove at 12:25pm. At the same time, "Naiad" with the I15s reported they were at Double Bay on Hanson Island. We lost track of the A30s after they passed Rubbing Beach to the west. OL crew 24 Aug 2016 13:03:28 PDT Distant calls audible. We started picking up the I15 calls on the Flower Island hydrophone! They are getting closer. We heard the A30 calls on the Rubbing Beach hydrophone then we found many small fins on the Rubbing Beach camera at 11:15am. They were off the shore, heading west. OL crew 24 Aug 2016 11:44:34 PDT Distant calls audible. "Wild coast" reported that a group of orcas was heading west from the east end of the reserve, Vancouver Island side at 10:46am. We started hearing them on the Rubbing Beach hydrophone. OL crew 24 Aug 2016 11:09:25 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Great news! We got a report of the I15s!! They were a mile east of Lizard Point on Malcolm Island, hugging the shoreline at 9:58am. Lance can identify the I4s. Sounds like it is very foggy out there too. OL crew 24 Aug 2016 10:11:45 PDT No orcas present. Incoming! We got a report from Kate at Bere Point on Malcolm Island. At 7:55am a group of orcas headed east from Bere Point. She could see one male clean fin in the fog. No visibility in Blackney Pass at the moment. Hope we pick up their calls soon! OL crew 24 Aug 2016 09:33:57 PDT Distant calls audible. We are hearing very distant calls on Rubbing beach hydrophone. Possibly the A30s and the A42s are going east in the strait.  Tomoko 24 Aug 2016 04:01:11 PDT Superb sounds!! The A42's and A30's have been calling for many hours on Critical Point, without moving far from the Bight. They are slightly outside the bay now and their calls are echoing, we'll update you when we know where they're headed! Debs and Lauren 24 Aug 2016 02:47:50 PDT Superb sounds!! Sounds like the A30s and A42s are still in the Bight. Beautiful calls! OL CREW 24 Aug 2016 00:01:10 PDT
