26 October Orcalab reports:

Distant calls audible.

We're back, almost (Channel B so far) & are listening to occasional calls from the A12s, who are foraging at the "top" of Blackfish Sound.

Orcas (may be) approaching cameras.

The A36s are foraging off CP at the moment after traveling from Robson Bight. The A12s are reported to be between Penfolds and Bold Head.

Distant calls audible.

The A36s have turned back to the east and are crossing towards Blinkhorn Pen. at the moment. Also we had a report that the A12s after foraging in Queen Charlotte Strait grouped up and turned eastward as well before 4pm.

Superb sounds!!

The A12s are heading back into Johnstone Strait via Blackney Pass. We're listening to them on the Parson Island hydrophone, without boat noise!

No calls but orcas nearby

Lovely calls from the A12s as they entered the very noisy Johnstone strait. nice reality there for a while. We think the A36s continued east ahead of the A12s earlier.

Distant calls audible.

So.... the A36s left the Strait for Blackfish Sound! This was a surprise and it was quickly done. Now we are not sure where the A12s ended up. The constant boat noise in the Strait is unfortunate.
