Orcas approaching Orcalab.

It sounds like the G's may be committing to Blackney Pass. We'll cross our fingers and turn the camera on. rtsp://192.168.2.14/axis-media/media.amp

The Gs are actively foraging off the entrance to Blackney Pass, great news for this time of year!

Distant calls audible.

We're hearing really faint G calls on Critical Point. There's a lot of boat noise now but should fade away soon!

Superb sounds!!

We're hearing some really nice G 3/2/27 calls this evening! The orcas have been hanging around Critical Point for quite a while now. They must have found some fish!

The whales passed Blackney entrance and continued east in Johnstone Strait. Still hearing them on CP and Critical Point right now.

Orcas near mics.

We're hearing really great G calls this morning! They just came into range on Parson Island. Maybe they'll come by the lab! Camera is on. http://orcalab.click2stream.com/

No orcas present.

A stormy day here at the lab though we did have a couple of breaching humpbacks on the far side of Blackney Pass this morning, and, of course, plenty of Stellar Sea Lions hauled out on the rocks down the shore from the lab.

No orcas present.

Had a chance to listen to the recording from last night. Sounds like the G2/27 group with some G1s as well. When the G2/27s travelled in a while ago Jared Towers noticed they were accompanied by the G46s (formally the G29s) so perhaps this explains the G1 calls at this time as well.

No calls but orcas nearby

Jared reports the G3s are now resting while travelling west past the Sophia Islands in Johnstone Strait.

Superb sounds!!

We learned from Jared Towers that it's the G3s currently easting in Johnstone Strait past the rubbing beaches. And there's a humpback singing on Flower Island. And the sun is out! Happy November!
