No orcas present.

The last few days have been quite exciting as a fairly large group of Northern Residents came in and headed east past Robson Bight mid morning on March 23rd. We reviewed the recording of GIs, G17s and Cs making their way towards Robson Bight. Then, on March 25 these same groups came back to the west. Calls were heard around 7am. The Cs were in the lead and continued west and an hour later Jim and Mary Borrowman observed them spread out off the Telegraph Cove area. Our camera at Robson Bight saw the other two G clan groups heading back to the east at the same time. A bit later Elizabeth Zwamborn confirmed the I11s and G17s continuing east off Naka Creek around 1030. The Cs meanwhile were seen heading through Pearse Passage at 8:40 (thanks JB) and then later off Sointula by Gord Curry at 1030. Gord took a few pictures of the C6 males, which he passed on, thanks Gord. We think the Cs continued out of the area but we have not heard the G clan groups return so there is a chance there will be more activity if they decide to do so.

We've heard a couple of calls through boat noise on Critical Point. Definitely Residents.

Distant calls audible.

Morning, all! We heard some "ping" type calls from our house monitor just a few moments ago. No calls since the rec started but we'll keep you posted!

No calls but orcas nearby

We've got orcas in front of the lab on camera! No calls yet but they look like they're slowly heading towards Cracroft.

Orcas near mics.

We just had a brief but intense flurry of Biggs calls on Critical Point. They've gone quiet for the moment but they sure sounded happy.
