Distant calls audible. It sounded as though the A11s & A36s continued to the east in Johnstone Strait. The last calls were heard around 10pm.  Leah 28 Jul 2012 22:57:38 PDT

Distant calls audible. We can hear the A36s and A11s in Johnstone Strait. The Lukwa also reported that the A11s had stopped to rest and socialize off Pig Ranch, mid strait, and the A36s simultaneously charged back to the east towards them from 1/2 mile east of CP. Leah 28 Jul 2012 19:56:41 PDT

Distant calls audible. The A36s were foraging just east of Kaikash while the A11s slowly traveled east in Robson Bight around 4:45pm. They were all vocal at the time. CP has just reported that they are all spread out from Robson Bight to the east. Leah 28 Jul 2012 18:10:39 PDT

Superb sounds!! The A11s and A36s are making beautiful calls in Robson Bight at the moment!! Leah 28 Jul 2012 13:19:53 PDT

Distant calls audible. The A36s and small A11 group just passed the Lab in a tight resting group to the south. It was a glorious scene as they slowly surfaced in the glassy calm sea with a thin layer of fog in the background. A few calls can now be heard on CP. Leah 28 Jul 2012 11:43:38 PDT

No orcas present. The A36s continued to sporadically call in Johnstone Strait until about 2:30am. It didn't sound like they were going anywhere fast. This morning the fog is thick, but we can hear a humpback blowing mid Pass. Leah 28 Jul 2012 09:47:00 PDT

Distant calls audible. We can hear distant, sporadic calls on the Rubbing Beaches. Perhaps the A36s & A11s are back from the east?? Leah 28 Jul 2012 00:34:58 PDT

CP reported a Minke whale heading west towards CP and then up Blackney Pass at 4:36pm.

Performing maintenance Hi everyone, we're running a test of streaming audio at a higher rate than usual (54kbps v"s 11kbps). We'd like your opinion as to whether your audio experience is improved. Probably, we will do this for the rest of today, and perhaps tomorrow, as we have spare end of month bandwidth that will enable us to do it. Thanks for any feedback you can give us! Paul & Helena 26 Jul 2012 14:22:30 PDT

No orcas present. No one has seen the A30s yet today. We last heard them around 5am and are wondering if their distant calls at that time meant they went out through Weynton Passage. The A36s and the A11s (small group) have been reported in Nodales (east JS) this morning. Helena 26 Jul 2012 10:46:06 PDT

Distant calls audible. We think the A30s carried on westward in Johnstone Srait and are waiting to see if the now flooding tide is encouraging a proper turn back to the east. Helena, Phinn 26 Jul 2012 05:06:55 PDT

Distant calls audible. At least the A30s have returned. We have been recording their western movement back. Have not heard either A4 or A36s so far. Helena, Leah, Krissie 26 Jul 2012 02:44:53 PDT

Performing maintenanceWe are working on the system to make it better (Paul up trees etc) but it will be a while before we have a stable signal. Yhanks for your patience. The A30s and Co continued east. Blackney has been a humpback playground this evening.

Boat noise The A30s continued to the east. At Noon they were reported by the Naiad Explorer off the Adam River. There was mention of the A36s at the same time. Meanwhile, the transient who went north through Blackney Pass after 8:30am were identified by Jared Towers as the T77s and the T75Bs. They continued into Queen Charlotte Str. and were off Bowlder Pt. at 12:15pm. Helena 25 Jul 2012 13:47:30 PDT

Distant calls audible. Perhaps the group that has gone north in Blackney Pass might be Bigg's whales. Boat Bay had a group of unidentified orcas go west at 7am. Then at 8:32am Momoko at CP saw a group enter Blackney Pass. We may have heard faint blows. Helena 25 Jul 2012 09:12:09 PDT

Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom. A30s at main Rubbing Beach. Helena 25 Jul 2012 09:05:54 PDT

No calls but orcas nearby Interesting! There are whales going north through Blackney Pass right now. What is going on? It is foggy so we can't see who and they are not calling either. Helena 25 Jul 2012 08:44:07 PDT

Orcas near mics. We have been listening to the A30s back in Johnstone Strait. We think there is an A4 group there with as well. Where are the A36s? OrcaLab 25 Jul 2012 07:22:29 PDT

Orcas near mics.

The A30s have moved through Blackney Pass and are now in Blackfish Sound.

Orcas near mics. The A30s came through Weynton Passage and we have been tracking them as they have neared the entrance to Blackney Pass. OL crew 24 Jul 2012 18:40:34 PDT

Superb sounds!! The A30s are on the Flower Island (Blackfish Sound) system right now, making their way east. Helena 24 Jul 2012 14:59:05 PDT

Boat noise Hi, just in via Marie, Bill and Donna had a report that the A36s have just entered Nodales Channel. Helena 24 Jul 2012 11:56:27 PDT

Orcas near mics. These lovely A30s have gathered themselves up and are approaching the area off the entrance to Blackney Pass. Helena 24 Jul 2012 22:53:13 PDT
