Distant calls audible. The orcas are back and call ing at the top end of Blackfish Sounds. Calls are pretty frequent but they sound a wee bit tired as if a long days journey to get here!  Orcalab 14 Aug 2019 22:35:47 PDT Orcas near mics.

We first got a report that a group of Orcas were in front of Alert Bay, heading east at 10:46am. At 11:09am, two groups were coming east on the south side of Pearse Island. At 12:39pm, one group was reported off of Stubbs, heading north and another group was off of Big Bay, going east. We also heard some Bigg's orca calls. The group near Stubbs was identified as the T002Cs. At 12:52pm, CP reported that a group (1 male, one sprouter, one baby and at least 2 small fins) were headed into Blackney Pass from Johnstone Strait. The group unfortunately changed their mind and turned back into the Strait where they milled around for a short while. They eventually started to slowly head east from CP. They were very close to the Cracroft Island side and Shari at CP was able to identify them as the T090s. At 2:23pm we spotted Orcas on the Robson Bight cam near the east of the Cliff and followed them until they came to the east of Boat Bay on our Rubbing Beach cam. At 2:50pm, another group (1 male with 2 small fins and a baby) was reported by CP in the entrance of Blackney Pass. This group was identified as the T060s. At 3:23pm, the Northern Residents were off of Bere Point and the T059s, T69As and T060s were seen off of Donegal Head. At 4:52pm, the T069As were at Foster and the A50s, A54s, I4s and A25s were off of Malcolm Point, heading east. At 9:44pm we started hearing the A30 calls from Blackfish Sound, but they stopped calling at 9:49pm and didn't hear anything until 5:36am, when the A30s were heard in Blackfish Sound again. The A30s were very quiet and only called for about three minutes. Most recently, there was a report of Orcas at Bere Point - hopefully they mosey on down East and give us a visit!  Emily and Momoko 14 Aug 2019 11:43:41 PDT
