Distant calls audible. It was a pretty quiet day until we started hearing distant calls on Critical Point 5:49pm and saw them on the CRPT camera at 5:58pm. Later, at 7:07pm, we heard calls again, but this time on Cracroft Point and spotted a group on the camera heading West into Blackney Pass. At 7:18pm, we had our first Orcas in the gap, believed to be the I4s and Bend (A72). They were followed by a second group with at least four whales, one of which was a sprouter, A84. The first and second group got to West Pass and then lingered for a while, probably waiting for the third group which showed up in the gap at 7:45pm. The third group was comprised of the A54s, A25s, A50, and A61. We believe that Bend (A72) turned back from the first and second group and joined the third as she was spotted with them at Parson Island's South Edge. The 3rd group was moving fast and there were lots of calls! They were also breaching and tail slapping throughout the pass. They had all exited the pass by 7:58pm, except for A61 who lingered and foraged for a while by Turtle Rock until finally moving into Blackfish Sound at 8:05pm. There are now distant calls in Blackfish Sound, where we believe the Orcas are foraging.  Orcalab 12 Aug 2019 21:49:30 PDT No orcas present. Soon after A30s, A5s and I15s became vocal on Flower Island hydrophone (21:35), we started hearing their blows at the bottom of Blackfish Sound (22:04). They were slowly passing by, their blows were echoing in the dark until around 22:50 when they entered Johnston Strait and headed east. They were vocal all the way down to the Main Rubbing Beach. We've heard clear calls and echolocation on Rubbing beach hydrophone at 1:24 am and they became distant at 3:34 am. Very quiet morning so far (except for the boat noise!).  Momoko & TJ 12 Aug 2019 09:58:01 PDT
