Distant calls audible. We're hearing some faint calls on CP. Not sure if it's residents or Biggs yet. Stay tuned!  David & Brittney 29 Jan 2016 20:01:15 PST

No orcas present. The calls yesterday (Jan 24) around 2pm were either I11 or I31 type calls. Windy day today again. Helena 25 Jan 2016 00:43:34 PST

Distant calls audible. We're hearing a few distant calls that started on the Parson Island hydrophone and now we can just barely hear them on the Critical Point one! Brittney 24 Jan 2016 14:19:29 PST

Distant calls audible. We've heard a few faint and spread out calls on the Critical Point hydrophone!   Brittney + David 23 Jan 2016 15:27:14 PST

Distant calls audible. We're hearing some very faint calls on CP here in the early morning. Not positive who it is yet, possibly G clan as we may have heard a ping a few minutes ago. David & Brittney 22 Jan 2016 06:12:27 PST

Distant calls audible. We've heard a few calls in some pretty static heavy Parson Island and Cracroft Point hydrophones. The weather has been pretty windy lately so its hard to hear them but they're around! brittney + David 20 Jan 2016 20:09:45 PST

No calls but orcas nearby My goodness, is this summer! We think the I31s were off the north end of Blackfish sound around 7:30 this evening. We than heard a couple very faint resting calls off of CP around 8.  David & Brittney 19 Jan 2016 21:16:36 PST

Sorry for the delay of this report. Yesterday, David and Brittney most likely saw the A23/A25 group head north in Blackney Pass just before 10 am. They took some pictures, especially of A61, and as there were enough whales there for the whole group we think that everyone was there. It has been a challenge to keep track of these resident whales because they have tended to be often quiet during most of their time in the area. Most of the sightings (either by the Lab or Jared Towers have been opportunistic). We do not know yet what happened to the G clan group who circled Hanson Island on the 15th. They were last seen (on the cameras) heading east near the Ecological Reserve. Ah winter - it has been a windy one so far! Helena 18 Jan 2016 10:36:09 PST

Superb sounds!! Morning everybody! We're listening some some drawn out, ping like calls this morning! We were just able to see the orcas as the swam North past the lab. If you scroll back about 10 min on the explore page you should be able to see them! http://explore.org/live-cams/player/orcalab-base Brittney + David 15 Jan 2016 09:24:47 PST

No calls but orcas nearby Jared has there A23s/A25s heading east off of Blinkhorn in Johnstone Strait. They're being really quiet though. No calls so far. David & Brittney 14 Jan 2016 12:18:09 PST

Distant calls audible. Jared Towers reports A23s at Blinkhorn and A25's along the HI shoreline. We had them on the hydrophones for awhile but haven't heard anything for a bit Brittney 13 Jan 2016 14:27:24 PST Distant calls audible. We're hearing distant calls on CP, PI and CRPT! Haven't found them on camera yet but keep your eyes peeled :) Brittney + David 13 Jan 2016 13:04:08 PST

No orcas present. It has been a quiet + windy day here! We are thankful that we received some much needed rain! The garden is happy too :) We haven't heard or seen any whales as of late but the sea lions are still hauled out just down the way. We hope everybody is enjoying the week so far! Brittney + David 12 Jan 2016 15:47:46 PST

No orcas present. Jared Towers saw the T69s heading west past Alert Bay and Haddington Island this afternoon. Possibly this is who we heard earlier this morning! Helena,David,Brittney,Paul 06 Jan 2016 14:51:30 PST Superb sounds!! We're currently hearing Biggs on the CP hydrophone Brittney + David 06 Jan 2016 09:50:32 PST Superb sounds!! Morning! We've got some Biggs on the CP hydrophone brittney + David 06 Jan 2016 09:49:16 PST

Distant calls audible. And they're back! We're hearing Biggs again on Flower Island David & Brittey 04 Jan 2016 21:24:42 PST Distant calls audible. We're hearing Biggs on Local Left and Flower Island. We caught them on camera for just a moment before they passed out of sight going north in Blackfish Sound. If you rewind the video on http://explore.org/live-cams/player/orcalab-base about ten minutes you should be able to see them! David,Brittney 04 Jan 2016 16:58:19 PST
