Distant calls audible. Jim reported that the Bigg's orcas just passed Telegraph Cove heading west. Jared is with them now for photo ID. OL Crew 10 Feb 2013 17:16:07 PST

Bigg's orcas calling in Johnstone Strait! OL Crew 10 Feb 2013 16:15:47 PST

No orcas present. The A5s crossed Johnstone Strait and exited through Weynton Pass around 10am. We did not hear them arrive on the "other side" in Blackfish Sound.  OL crew 10 Feb 2013 11:43:21 PST

Distant calls audible. It seems that the A5s (all) came west this morning and just a short while ago turned back east off Blinkhorn (east of Telegraph Cove). Thanks to jared and Christie for this early morning update!  OL crew 10 Feb 2013 08:02:17 PST

Orcas near mics. Sounds like the A5s are back in Johnstone Strait at the mouth of Blackney Pass!! OL Crew 10 Feb 2013 05:49:29 PST

No orcas present. The I11s carried west on through Queen Charlotte Strait. Thanks to Jared and Christie for the update Helena 09 Feb 2013 14:09:41 PST

Distant calls audible. The small I11 group (minus the I12s) moved through Weynton Pass after coming westward in the Strait. They are now off the west end of Blackfish Sound. Thanks to Jared and Christie for the positive IDs. Marie & Co 09 Feb 2013 09:13:41 PST

Orcas near mics. These whales have already made it to the entrance to Blackney Pass! Marie & Co. 09 Feb 2013 07:16:30 PST

Superb sounds!! The Gclan whales have moved westward and are now in Robson Bight, nice calls! Marie  09 Feb 2013 06:31:06 PST

Distant calls audible. Sounds like at least some of the whales are returning from their travels to the east, we've heard a few Gclan 'pings' on the rubbing beach system.  Marie  09 Feb 2013 06:05:43 PST

Orcas near mics. They have moved on and are now being picked up by the rubbing beach system. Will they do a winter rub? Marie & Co 08 Feb 2013 13:44:22 PST

Superb sounds!! Fantastic A5 and Gclan calls in Robson Bight as the whales head east in Johnstone Strait! Marie, KC, Tabi and Lexi 08 Feb 2013 12:31:59 PST

Multiple pod calls audible. There are now G clan calls with the A5s! And they are back off the entrance to Blackney Pass. Did the A8s go and get the whales Leah and Angela saw off of Port Hardy yesterday? If so this might just be the rest of the A5s and the I11s as well as the A8s. Let's hope so! Marie & Co 08 Feb 2013 11:35:12 PST

No calls but orcas nearby Jim Borrowman got a good look at the orca and it is the A8s with their new baby!! Marie & Co. 08 Feb 2013 10:11:15 PST

No calls but orcas nearby The small group of orcas (we heard A5 calls earlier) just made a large arc and moved from the Vancouver Island side over to Hanson Island. They have just cleared Johnstone Strait headed into Weynton Passage. Marie & Co 08 Feb 2013 09:40:34 PST

Angela and I saw 4 males, 2 females and a juvenile including A60 and I64 yesterday off Hardy Bay yesterday. They were heading to the east around 11am. Perhaps they made it into the Strait?!? Leah 08 Feb 2013 09:17:37 PST

Orcas near mics. The whales have started to vocalize again in Johnstone Strait, this time with no boat noise! Marie 08 Feb 2013 07:56:35 PST

Boat noise We're hearing A-clan calls at the entrance to Blackney Pass!! Unfortunately lots of boat noise too.  Marie 08 Feb 2013 05:44:34 PST

No calls but orcas nearby The T18/19s just quickly and quietly travelled north in Blackney Pass on this beautiful calm sunny day!!  Marie, KC, Tabi and Lexi 07 Feb 2013 16:02:16 PST

No calls but orcas nearby Harry Alfred reported seeing two orca, 1 male & 1 female, by Midsummer island this afternoon. Otherwise, it's been a pretty quiet start to February, cetacean wise, around here. Marie 06 Feb 2013 20:09:26 PST
