09:03 PDT No orcas present.
Good morning everyone! It's another very foggy morning here & we've heard no calls since around 2:30am, when the I15s & A30s were near Robson Bight. We're not sure what direction they headed in. We are waiting.

09:17 PDT Orcas near mics.
We didn't have to wait long! The calls we're listening to are on the Critical Point hydrophone... sounds ike at least the A30s are back in the Bight!

12:06 PDT Distant calls audible.
Things have moved along since the last report: the A30s continued to the west and the I15s have come up along the Cracroft Island shore towards CP.

13:50 PDT Orcas (may be) approaching cameras.
Another group of orcas, probably the A11s and A8s, is heading west in Johnstone Strait, some are approaching CP. Channel A. Meanwhile, the I15s are headed west from Blackney Pass, & the A30s are headed east from Blinkhorn.

16:18 PDT Multiple pod calls audible.
it has been a very full afternoon with the A11s/A73 7 a8s coming up from "below" to join the I15s and the A30s. The A30s have blended with the A11s and the a8s west of CP and are now on their way over to join the I15s who are closer now to the Vancouver Island shore. The I15s had been close to CP before their move west and they were followed by the A11s & A8s soon after. The small humpback just went past CP.

19:30 PDT Distant calls audible.
The whales continue to be in the far western section of the Strait and so we are still hearing distant calls.

22:16 PDT Superb sounds!!
After moving west slowly in Johnstone Strait for most of the day, the whales turned to the east at about 7pm. The A11s are probably ahead and have passed CP with the A8s, A30s and I15s making their way to the east behind them under a beautiful star filled sky.
