No calls but orcas nearby

Nice to know that life goes on. There were orcas in the Strait this morning. Jared saw them from his house in Alert Bay. They headed east. It is another beautiful day here as we get closer to the end of March. Spring already. All good, stay safe and well.

No calls but orcas nearby

We heard very faint A calls from the house about 30 minutes ago, but by the time we got to the lab they had stopped. Haven't heard anything since... A couple of our hydrophones are out of the mix right now (the result of not enough sun!), so we know the calls were in Johnstone Strait and picked up by either our hydrophone at Cracroft Point or in the Ecological Reserve. Our most educated guess is that it could be the anticipated A42s who were last seen heading north off of Campbell River, a few days ago. However, we cannot say that with any certainty - we have learned never to make any assumptions of these whales! Listen out with us: www.orca-live.net
