Distant calls audible. There were a few Biggs calls at 0946 but they have been quiet since so I could not decipher where they were. Hopefully they speak up again! Marie 18 Feb 2014 10:12:50 PST

No calls but orcas nearby Update from Yvonne: Pleased to say the whale sighting on Valentine's Day was not Biggs but Northern Residents, A42's (AKA A8's) , I.D'ed by Jared. Great news, thanks! Marie 17 Feb 2014 20:47:51 PST

Leah passed on this second hand report: Two orcas reported in Hardy Bay Monday morning. Apparently the same two whales where in the area a week prior as well. Thanks! Marie 13 Feb 2014 19:03:53 PST

No calls but orcas nearby The Biggs stopped calling at ~6am, they sure where chatty this morning! Wonder where they got to? Marie 11 Feb 2014 08:48:35 PST Superb sounds!! Biggs calling in Blackfish Sound! Marie 11 Feb 2014 05:00:16 PST

It has been quiet cetacean wise the past week but the weather sure has been something to watch! It's been very sunny but freezing, down to minus 12, and now it's snowing and blowing 40 knots!! Marie 10 Feb 2014 09:36:47 PST

Sounds like the A8s might still be south of here! Report via Orcanetwork: Feb. 1st - A pod of 5 orcas seen rubbing just a few feet offshore on pebble beach, west of Sechelt. Behaviour continued for 1/2 hour off Trail Islands, Sechelt, B.C.rubbing on pebbles (just offshore). When they left the beach they continued traveling west towards Sargeants Bay.

Distant calls audible. Heard a few Biggs calls in Blackfish Sound at 1645, nothing since but great to know they are out there! Beautiful day today! Marie 02 Feb 2014 17:30:30 PST

No orcas present. Susan kindly clarified the A8 sightings so I thought to repost it on this side so the record is clear! Thanks Susan, " Just to clarify, the last reported sighting of the A8's was Jan. 23rd in the Powell River fog. For days we were pea soup which finally lifted yesterday. No reports so far. Windy here too."  Helena  29 Jan 2014 15:58:18 PST No orcas present. Windy day here! Lori let us know that Susan Mackay is reporting that the A8s are still in the Powell River area. They have been there forever (since Christmas). Amazing! http://whalesanddolphinsofbc.blogspot.ca/2014/01/northern-resident-killer-whales-a842s.html Helena & Paul 29 Jan 2014 09:54:04 PST

Distant calls audible. We're hearing calls in Blackfish Sound, tide is flooding, so the orcas may come our way. Foggy morning, camera is on: http://orcalab.click2stream.com/ Helena & Paul 26 Jan 2014 10:05:35 PST

No calls but orcas nearby At 9:30am this morning a group of orcas passed through Blackney Pass headed to Blackfish Sound. We think they may have been the C06s. Jared has been helping with the photo IDs. It has been a long time since they were last in this area so it was a great treat to see them. They most likely were the whales heard yesterday. They were virtually silent today. Beautiful sunny days here recently. Helena & Paul 24 Jan 2014 13:27:26 PST

Orcas hunting fish. A short while ago we started to hear close echo location near Robson Bight. Helena & Paul 23 Jan 2014 16:38:37 PST

No orcas present. We passed the pictures from this afternoon on to Jared Towers who despite picture's low light confirmed that the male in the group was possibly T060C. Thanks Jared. Helena & Paul 20 Jan 2014 20:55:11 PST No calls but orcas nearby We just saw a group of five orcas heading north in Blackney Pass. They were together mid channel, long dives. They are in Blackfish Sound by now. Helena & Paul 20 Jan 2014 17:20:36 PST Superb sounds!! The Biggs still callng! Helena  20 Jan 2014 01:49:01 PST Orcas near mics. The Bigg's orcas are in Blackfish Sound. Helena & Paul 20 Jan 2014 00:19:20 PST Orcas near mics. Bigggs whales calling. Helena & Paul 20 Jan 2014 00:09:48 PST
