No orcas present. The A34's continued to the east as we could follow their calls until they got to the Bight, or so we thought! We heard lots of echolocation and calls but they did eventually became faint around 5:20pm. The fog did clear and it turned once more into a beautiful afternoon. We hadn't heard calls from that group for ten minutes when suddenly a group of four Orca popped up close to the lab heading south. We quickly identified this group to be the A62's, however Jared Towers confirmed that they had defiantly been with the rest of the group, in the Johnstone Strait earlier in the afternoon so we believe these four must have travelled north into Blackney Passage close to the time of our last update, around 4pm. They moved steadily to the south passing close to the Sea lion rock camera and cleared our view here at lab at 5:40pm. We could not find them on the Parson Island camera because of significant glare, but thankfully picked them up on the Cracroft Point camera fifteen minutes later. They spent a small about of time in the rip at the entrance to Blackney Pass before continuing to the east in a resting line. We were able to follow them on the camera until 6:28pm. While searching for them on the Robson Bight camera we did spot a black bear on the beach, and many relaxed Pacific White-sided dolphins in the Strait. We finally found the Orca again at 7:17pm when they were on the Robson Bight camera in the sunset still heading east and echolocating a great deal. While we were following the A62's the rest of the A34s, it seems, did go to the rubbing beach for a scrub. At 7:40pm the A62s cleared from view on the Robson Bight camera still heading slowly east. We did not see them again before it got dark and the last calls were very faint on the Rubbing Beach hydrophone at 8pm.  Anika and Shari 28 Sep 2018 22:40:09 PDT No calls but orcas nearby We received a report from the Lukwa of a group of Orca heading south through Weynton Pass. By 2:24pm Paul and Helena on their way to Telegraph Cove confirmed that the A34's were spread from Little Kaikash Creek out towards the middle of the Johnstone Strait heading east. At 2:33pm we heard calls in hydrophone. We did have the A34's distant on both the Parsons Island camera and the Cracroft Point camera but at 3:15pm a bank of fog rolled in and we then had no visibility. We understand that the group has continued to the east, we have not heard calls since 3:32pm, only the chatter of a group of Pacific White sided dolphins that passed by the lab at 3:27pm and continued to Johnstone Strait. We hope that the A34's will continue to the rubbing beach because the underwater camera can not be affected by the fog! Anika and Shari 28 Sep 2018 16:05:00 PDT
