Performing maintenance Our internet connection is off & on just now, so our audio stream is being interrupted frequently. We will try to solve the problem as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!  OL crew 29 Sep 2014 08:08:05 PDT No orcas present. Dolphins again through the night. Interestingly starting around the same time before midnight and then in short bursts from time to time afterwards. Helena  29 Sep 2014 06:43:07 PDT

Its a beautiful night at Orcalab! Two humpbacks, Guardian and Ridge are moving between Red Point and 2nd Bay. They are changing direction frequently and seem to be enjoying the calm water, taking a break and resting on the surface.  Chelsea & Yvonne 28 Sep 2014 19:28:56 PDT No orcas present. It has been a beautiful day here! The sun is shining and we welcomed Yvonne's help. She got great pictures of Inukshuk when just two hundred metres off the lab this morning. Guardian has also been in the Pass today. The sea lions were very curious when we were bucking winter wood on the beach and perhaps relieved when we stopped!  Helena  28 Sep 2014 15:41:31 PDT

No orcas present. The sea lions are growling under a starry sky. Today Jackie told us that there are 15 humpbacks in the area. Five of these were near Blackney: Lucky, Ridge,Guardian,Inukshuk and Conger. So great to have these familiar acquaintances around. Helena  27 Sep 2014 21:56:03 PDT No orcas present. We have quite the show of sea lions, dolphins, and humpbacks in front of the lab! Camera is on.rtsp://192.168.2.14/axis-media/media.amp OL Crew 27 Sep 2014 10:39:53 PDT

No orcas present. It's been a quiet few days here at the lab. We did catch the briefest glimpse of a Minke whale travelling south in Blackney Pass though! The storm seems to have blown itself out and it's a calm day here. OL Crew 26 Sep 2014 10:23:20 PDT

We saw a Humpback whale 10m off Orcalab, there were more than 70 sea lions on Hanson Island shore, and stars are amazing tonight, we are keep watching shooting stars every couple of minutes. We had everything but Orcas. We are waiting for them to come back. Goodnight everyone! Tomoko & the lab crew 20 Sep 2014 21:58:40 PDT No orcas present.

We are not sure where the Biggs ended up. our hydrophone sounds very quiet without boat noise now, but in the air sea lions are pretty loud in Blackney Pass.  Tomoko & the lab crew 19 Sep 2014 22:02:24 PDT No calls but orcas nearby The group of Biggs whales just passed in front of the lab.
