No calls but orcas nearby

Today was a nice calm day, a little bit warmer than it has been of late, and a day when Alex Morton saw Bigg's orcas in Weynton Passage at 12:32 and alerted Jared Towers who identified the T49As and T68 and T68A. Later, in Johnstone Strait they headed east from Blinkhorn and were off the Western Boundary of the Ecological Reserve by 3:15pm. We found T49A1 on the Robson Bight camera (Jared ID) at 4:12pm. The rest were further east with Jared off the Main Beach still heading east. We found them briefly on the camera. They were not vocal. Yesterday, T10 with T10C were also heading east in Johnstone Strait around 7pm. Today we said good-bye to Lisa Larsson, her winter at OrcaLab over. Thank you, Lisa for all your hard work, passion for the whales and ocean, safe trip home.
