Multiple pod calls audible.
We just had the A5 group followed by the A54s and I15 group (perhaps the I4s) pass CP and come into Blackney Pass and head north. They are all now in Blackfish Sound.

The whales are doing the sorting for me. The A54s after passing Robson Bight made way towards the Main rubbing beaches. A short while later we began to hear A5 and I15 calls from whales returning from the east.

Well . . . I need my sorting hat! The A50s (of the A30s) spent the day in Queen Charlotte Strait with two of the I15 groups, the I65s and I27s (Jared Towers ID). The A54s remained behind and spent time in Weynton Pass before returning to Blackfish Sound and eventually Blackney pass and now Johnstone Strait where they are headed east. Just the A23s, of the whales who travelled east this morning, were identified when they went for a rub off Camp Point at 4pm (Nick Templeman). No idea where the I4s and the I35s ended up. Time will tell.

No calls but orcas nearby
After all the rush to Blackfish Sound late yesterday evening the party stalled for several hours as the whales decided what would happen next. We believe there was a split in the group with at least A5s and I15s returning to Johnstone Strait while the I35s perhaps moved on to Queen Charlotte Strait and the A30s (at least the A54s) stayed. The As and the I15s went east beyond the Reserve after brushing the rubbing beaches. If it is the I35s they are continuing westward in Queen Charlotte and the A54s towards Stubbs Island.
