Superb sounds!!
The A36s, followed by the other A1s, headed north through Blackney Pass just before & just after daylight, and are presently in Blackfish Sound. We're listening to their lovely calls without boat noise, and are sorry not to be able to share them with you, as our connection is still down.

Superb sounds!!
Hey it is an A1 day! The A30s,A12s and the A36s (vocal at the moment) have travelled south through Blackney Pass on their way to Johnstone Strait. They look like they might be excited by the prospect! We are.

Orcas near mics.
The A30s, A12s, and A36s are in Johnstone Strait now.

Unfortunately, we lost our connection again earlier this evening, while we were enjoying listening to all the A1 matrilines being together. This time, the problem is beyond our control, but we're hoping to be "up" again tomorrow. Please excuse the inconvenience.

No calls but orcas nearby
We still have our broadcast problems but for the last several hours we have been listening to the A12s and the A30s at the western end of Blackfish Sound. The calls have stopped and we are not sure where the whales ended up.

No orcas present.
Around 8pm last night the A30s turned up in Blackfish Sound and travelled south through Blackney Pass to Johnstone Strait. Once through the Pass they met up with the A12s who may have returned to the Strait via Weynton Pass. It was an energetic meeting. But as if an echo of October 28th both groups just vanished off our radar. Finally, just before 3am we heard A1 calls once again in the Strait. The calls didn't last long and it has been quiet since. Stormy day today.

Of course, as soon as we posted the no calls sign, the whales turned up off of Robson Bight. Both the A12s and the A30s are likely westbound in Johnstone Strait. There is also loud boat noise.

The A12s and the A30s came west to the entrance of Blackney Pass. Two hours before the slack to ebb tide they began their entrance into the Pass & into view. With the A12s in the lead the whales have slowly made their way towards Blackfish Sound. The A30s are now opposite the Lab mid channel while the A12s are most likely already in Blackfish Sound. Good calls from both groups. Very sorry we are still unable to broadcast sound.

Guess what? There be whales! The A12s are not far off Robson Bight at the moment. It is possible the A30s are in the Strait as well but the A12s are doing all the talking.

Distant calls audible.
The A12s are travelling west towards Cracroft Point and the entrance to Blackney Pass. They sound as if they are fairly spread out in the Strait.

Distant calls audible.
And there they went! The A12s travelled quickly once in Blackney Pass. They are now continuing westward through Blackfish Sound. A12 and A33 were way out in front. A55 led the rest. It was all business and no stopping. They called continuously throughout Blackney and are still vocal in Blackfish Sound.
