No orcas present. What a morning! After our last update last night, we continued listening to the calls of the A34's. As we mentioned they headed towards the main Rubbing Beaches at around 9:30pm. But they must have been at quite a distance, because we could only hear faint calls which never became really close. Thereafter we started hearing their echolocation and calls from the Bight again at 9:41pm. The whales must have turned around on their way to the Rubbing Beaches and were foraging in the Bight again. Until 11:33pm we listened to their calls from the Bight when it then became silent. After twenty minutes, at 11:53pm, our Cracroft Point hydrophone picked up some very faint calls! A minute later the calls became very loud and clear. It sounded like they were off the entrance to Blackney Pass. We were hoping that they would enter Blackney Pass and pass by the Lab, but to our regret they did not enter. We couldn't hear any more calls at 12:03am. All was quiet until 7:12am when we started hearing A34 calls on the Cracroft Point hydrophone. It was at this time a bit too dark and foggy to spot them on the camera but the calls were mid range and shortly after we started hearing some echos to Critical Point hydrophone and some echolocation as well. At around 8:21am Lucas on the Sophia's spotted 1 male and a small group of small fins heading west past the Sophia's mid strait. He also noted that he could see more blows further to the west around the Cracroft point area. Shortly after this, around 8:40am, we spotted the first of the whales on the Cracroft Point camera. It was one male foraging around the Kaikash area mid strait. A few minutes later there were more small fins mid strait spread across to the Vancouver Island side all heading west. At least 6 whales in total. At around 8:55am we started hearing I15 calls on Cracroft Point hydrophone as they entered Johnstone Strait via Weynton Passage. At this point we had stopped hearing any A34 calls. At 9:06am we began to hear calls on the Parsons Island hydrophone as the whales began to forage in the entrance of Blackney Pass. At 9:26am we spotted a larger resting line out by Big Bay on the Hanson Island side heading to the east and we assumed that group was the A34's. At 9:41pm, a male (most likely I76) was foraging in the rip by Cracroft Point. The large group of Orca joined with those already foraging in the rip at the entrance of Blackney Pass with breaching and tail slapping. We assumed that the A34's and the rest of the I15's met up west of Cracroft Point. At 10:40am, the whales started travelling north in to Blackney Pass. 15 minutes later, they came into the view of the Lab, spread from Parson Island side to Hanson Island side, headed north silently. At 11:46am, all of them cleared into Blackfish Sound, shortly after we started hearing calls from them. The whales kept travelling out of our hydrophone range and the last calls we heard were at 1:26pm. We over heard transmission that a group of orcas were off Lizard Point at 1:51pm.  Orcalab 19 Sep 2018 14:50:42 PDT Orcas approaching Orcalab. Orcas look like they are entering Blackney Pass, watch with us on the OrcaLab Base camera here: https://explore.org/livecams/orcas/orcalab-base Shari 19 Sep 2018 11:12:26 PDT Distant calls audible. We have the I15's foraging at Cracroft Point, the A34's are much further west.
