Orcas near mics. We're hearing 'pings' on the Critical Point hydrophone, sounds like the I31s are coming back from their trip to the east. Marie 21 Jan 2013 17:38:39 PST

No calls but orcas nearby You never know what you might see if you look. Having a coffee this morning in Alert Bay, in the middle of a conversation about the day ahead, we spotted orca blows east of Pearse Passage. After a few changes in direction the 4-5 orcas crossed over closer to Vancouver Island in the genera direction of Telegraph Cove. Beautiful back lite blows are making it possible to follow their movements with and without a scope. Maybe they will oblige and visit Marie at the Lab later. Helena & Paul 21 Jan 2013 10:01:56 PST

No calls but orcas nearby 6-7 orca (2 males) quietly headed north in Blackney Pass just after 1pm. Spotted them at the last minute so unfortunately we hard no time to get them on the cameras.  Marie 19 Jan 2013 13:35:45 PST Superb sounds!! Nice clear Bigg's calls in Robson Bight!

A humpback headed south through Pearse Pass yesterday around 1030 and presumably was the same one that ended up 25ft from the dock in Telegraph Cove. Thanks to Bill & Wendy at Pearse & Jackie & Jim. :) Leah 16 Jan 2013 22:57:59 PST

A humpback named Batik restfully traveled, 20ft off the Lab, to the south around at 1337 this afternoon. Helena then spotted her/him traveling to the east in Johnstone Strait around 1430. Nice to have such calm waters for photo identification and system maintenance today!  Leah 09 Jan 2013 17:01:50 PST

No calls but orcas nearby The Biggs turned around after looking like they were headed to johnstone Strait and went up Baronet Passage instead. Beautiful winter's day, sun shining, wind blowing, snow on the mountains. Helena & Paul & Leah 03 Jan 2013 11:54:14 PST

It turns out that the orca from yesterday were the T050s. They headed south in Blackney Pass and then east in Johnstone Strait. They were last seen in JS traveling very fast back to the west around 2pm. They were quiet the whole time.
