No calls but orcas nearby 3 Bigg's orca, including 1 male, quietly traveled north in Blackney around 0930 this morning. Also, at 0430 this morning a humpback could be heard vocalizing and through the loud waves it sounded like song. However, the calls didn't last for long. There are still 3+ HB's feeding and resting in Blackney as of today. Leah 29 Nov 2012 16:17:44 PST

Distant calls audible. We heard one call from a Bigg's orca at 0540, but nothing since. Yesterday was another day of humpbacks feeding in the Pass. We confirmed Freckles & Ripple, Inuskshuk, Moonstar, Flash & BCZUK2012#3. Leah 27 Nov 2012 06:06:34 PST

Boat noise There are transient/Bigg's orcas calling in Johnstone Strait at the moment. Earlier today while out performing maintenance we found the T002Cs and T123s as they joined together just east of CP. They traveled together, whilst vocalising, towards Robson Bight before returning to Blackney Pass and heading north just before dusk. They were harassing Freckles as they all got pushed north with the ebb tide. We are hoping s/he is okay. Moonstar, Flash and two other humpbacks were also visible in the Pass today.

Distant calls audible. Transients calling in Johnstone Strait! Leah & Paul Setzer 25 Nov 2012 14:39:18 PST

Moonstar & Ripple are rolling and lunge feeding in bait balls together while Freckles & Inuksuk zoom back and forth between their feed independently. Two more HB's headed north out of our view. Busy day in Blackney! Leah & Paul  23 Nov 2012 08:40:26 PST

We can hear vocalisations from a humpback in Blackney Pass every once and a while. The storm has subsided and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!  Leah 23 Nov 2012 07:33:52 PST

Boat noise We have a lot of boat noise these days and nights! Humpbacks are still sticking around. We saw Inukshuk, Moonstar, Ripple, Freckles and a possible newbie today. A storm is coming up tonight. Paul Setzer 21 Nov 2012 20:25:40 PST

No calls but orcas nearby 1 male, 1 female and a baby Transient/Bigg's orca quietly traveled north in Blackney around 10am. They went on a search for food in Parson Bay, but we couldn't be certain if they were successful. In the meantime 4 humpbacks were spread out and busy feeding in the Pass. The seas are building now with the SE winds and we haven't seen anyone since then.  Leah & Paul  18 Nov 2012 13:16:56 PST

Distant calls audible. We can hear faint humpback calls in Blackfish Sound. Earlier we could see Freckles, Conger, Ripple and one more HB feeding, resting and rolling amongst sealions in Blackney Pass. Leah & Paul  17 Nov 2012 18:35:46 PST

Correction: Sorry I meant to say Freckles, not Twister. Leah 15 Nov 2012 21:47:36 PST

Flash, Argonaut, Ripple, Twister & Moonstar could all be seen in feeding, resting & socialising in Blackney Pass today. Acoustically only a few vocals could be heard now & again. Leah & Paul 15 Nov 2012 21:40:42 PST

To add to the last post...Domino, Ripple & one more humpback were heading north with the ebb tide, on the far side of the Pass. Nice to still have them around! Leah 10 Nov 2012 21:28:36 PST

Distant calls audible. The same 5 Bigg's orcas from this morning traveled south in Blackney just before dark. We are now picking up on a few calls from them in the same are we last saw them. OL crew 10 Nov 2012 17:50:13 PST

As the sun is slowly rising a humpback is singing a song in Blackfish Sound. A beautiful morning here.
