Orcas near mics. Sounds like the A34s (and A46) are thinking about heading east through Blackfish Sound. Meanwhile, at 9:08pm Tenacious III reported that the A23s/25s got to Windy Point and then turned west. So it might get busy. Helena 28 Jul 2015 21:48:02 PDT No calls but orcas nearby We heard the A call around 5:36 pm. Not sure where the location was. Kate reported that the A34s and the A46 passed Bere Point at 5:11 pm and headed to the east. Thank you for the report, Kate! Momoko 28 Jul 2015 18:45:06 PDT No orcas present. As the A23s and A25s continue eastward (they went through the Reserve and carried on) we have been trying to sort out the happenings from earlier this morning. We were listening to the A23s and A25s past midnight at which time they seemed to be still closer to the Bight. But "CP" (Megan and Megan) were woken up by loud "A" calls just before 2am. They went outside and heard blows off the entrance to Blackney Pass closer to the Hanson Island shore. These blows went off to the west. A while later (2:20am) they became aware of more blows favouring the Cracroft side of mid strait opposite the Baron Reefs. Five mites later these blows were opposite them and continuing to the west. We think that these were the A23s and A25s beginning their circuit around Hanson Island. We saw them complete this circle at 7am when they went back to the Strait via Blackney Pass. No sign of the other group. Love it that there is a mystery for the day! Helena 28 Jul 2015 13:14:31 PDT Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom. Quick rub of A23s and A25s at Rubbing Beach! The whales are silent though, and now heading East. Dylan, Julien, Momoko 28 Jul 2015 11:28:12 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Megan at CP reported the A23s/A25s passed CP and headed to the east. They are really quiet! Momoko 28 Jul 2015 08:28:06 PDT No calls but orcas nearby We just had the A23s/A25s head south through Blackney Pass. No calls, travelling in tight group. Helena & OL 28 Jul 2015 07:43:35 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Group of very slow orcas heading south through Blackney Pass, camera on. Helena & OL 28 Jul 2015 07:05:50 PDT

Distant calls audible. We are hearing the A23s/A25s in loud boat noise. Momoko 27 Jul 2015 23:04:48 PDT No calls but orcas nearby After running up the Vancouver Island shore past Blinkhorn the A23s and A25s turned and are headed back east. Helena 27 Jul 2015 20:44:06 PDT Distant calls audible. Carrying on to the west. Helena 27 Jul 2015 18:36:29 PDT Orcas near mics. Lovely sound from the A23s/25s as they pass Cracroft Point! Helena 27 Jul 2015 18:01:29 PDT Orcas hunting fish. Whales from the east! Arriving just now at Critical Point, Robson Bight. Most likely the A23s/A25s. Helena 27 Jul 2015 16:20:56 PDT No orcas present. From Jake Etzkorn in lower Johnstone Strait for yesterday afternoon: "Busy evening at Chatham - Yogi (as identified by Nick the whale watcher) performed a series of breaches (10 in all) across the mouth of Nodales Ch. then continued west. Meanwhile the A23's and 25's traveled down from Ripple Point, crossed over to E. Thurlow and eventually headed up Nodales Ch. after a bit of feeding." Helena 27 Jul 2015 10:48:50 PDT No orcas present. We know, thanks to Kate, that the A34s with A46must have left Johnstone Strait (most likely via Weynton Pass) and headed into Queen Charlotte Strait. Kate reports that they passed Bere Point to the west about 1/2 hour ago. Thanks Kate! Helena 27 Jul 2015 06:57:56 PDT

Distant calls audible. The A34s are making their way up the Vancouver Island shore headed west. Before dark CP reported they were between Izumi and Kaiaksh. The have moved along since then. Helena 26 Jul 2015 22:34:36 PDT Orcas near mics. Sounds like the A34s have come back from the east. Someone touched in briefly at the Main beach and then carried on to the west arriving shortly at Critical Point. The A24s were last seen continuing westward in Queen Charlotte Strait earlier today. beautiful evening and now orcas too. OL Crew 26 Jul 2015 20:05:53 PDT No calls but orcas nearby Just after 6am the a24s went through Blackney Pass and headed into Blackfish Sound. The whale watch boats were able to locate them off Bold Hear later this morning. They were continuing west. We also heard the A34s/A46 and the a23s/25s this morning . tThey were last heard distantly in Johnstone Strait around 5:30am. Helena & OL 26 Jul 2015 09:56:19 PDT Orcas near mics. and now the A23s/25s Helena 26 Jul 2015 05:03:43 PDT Distant calls audible. And now A46 with the A24s! Helena 26 Jul 2015 04:44:09 PDT Distant calls audible. A34s so far making their way west. helena 26 Jul 2015 04:29:42 PDT Orcas near mics. Sounds like the rest of the whales are returning from the east now. Helena 26 Jul 2015 04:23:47 PDT Distant calls audible. We are hearing some echolocation and calls. Sounds like the orcas are near the Bight. Apparently, very loud tug boat is westing in the Johnstone Strait. Momoko 26 Jul 2015 00:28:42 PDT
