Superb sounds!!

The A23s and A25s have become clearly vocal. They apparently had a long rub at Kazumi and are off the entrance to Blackney Pass again.

No calls but orcas nearby

We have located them thanks to Jared Towers. They are on the Parson Rock cam: http://explore.org/live-cams/player/orcalab-parson-island off the entrance to Blackney Pass on the vancouver Island side.

No calls but orcas nearby

We are waiting to see if the A23s and A25s come into range of the CP camera. We had a repot from Elizabeth Zwamborn that they entered Johnstone Strait and are heading east. Clear sunny days, so fingers crossed. You can help us keep track by going to : https://explore.org/livecams/orcas/orcalab-cracroft-point-surface

It has been a very nice Orca holidays too this last week. At around four in the afternoon on the 23'rd we started hearing faint calls from the I15's of the G-clan approaching from the north, and some five hours later we heard A5's approaching CP before fading off again. Then suddenly after three days of Orca silence the I15's (I27, I4 and I65 Matrilines) appeared in Blackney Pass entrance at ten in the morning on the 26'th and passed by with the outflowing tide heading north in utter silence. Then the next day on the 27'th the A5's (A23 & A25 matrilines) did exactly the same ting at the same time, also in silence. Such a joy to see them again
