No calls but orcas nearby A postscript: It turned out to be the T121As and probably the T28Bs again who were the group which went north between 11am. and 12pm. They had been around on the 16th as well. We are also listening to distant As again in Johnstone Strait. OrcaLab 19 Nov 2018 19:26:28 PST Distant calls audible. Here is a rundown on how it has been around the Lab since the Northern Residents turned up yesterday and after the A34s were last seen heading back to the west off the eastern part of the Reserve around 2pm. At 4:20pm, the A34s were heard again in the Strait. Twenty-four minutes later the orcas were off the area adjacent to the entrance to Blackney Pass. They faded off in the distance (possibly continuing to the west) but resumed at 10:50pm and were vocal until 11:30pm. There travels were not over, nor Lisa’s night, as they became vocal again at 4:10am when back off the entrance to Blackney Pass. Again, they faded off in the distance but perhaps this time as they travelled eastward. They neared Robson Bight, around 10am and again faded away by 11;30am. This is also when, a small group of orcas, probably Bigg’s, slipped into Blackney Pass and travelled north on the far side. We wonder if they had been actually around an hour earlier when we noticed the sea lions on their rocks becoming agitated and eventually jumping in the water. We saw a “light” blow near the very active humpbacks. This small group, 2 females,3 young ones, travelled through with out any calls and took long dives. The A34s were vocal again at 12:50pm for a mere 10 minutes. We think they headed east. The A5s suddenly turned up off the entrance to Blackney Pass around 4:10pm. They became increasingly distant by 5:40pm.  OrcaLab 19 Nov 2018 18:12:07 PST Distant calls audible. The A34 calls on in Johnstone Strait and we have a silent group heading north in Blackney Pass.
