A12 came back and left, still on her own!

No calls but orcas nearby

A12 just went past the Lab headed north! This was a bit of a surprise as was the sight of jumping salmon close to Hanson Island. Last year we saw only one salmon jump for entire dismal season. This is a good sign.

Distant calls audible.

Those last calls (through considerable boat noise) were from A12 as she re-entered Johnstone Strait from Blackney Pass. Sounds like she is headed back east.

Orcas hunting fish.

A12 is now in Robson Bight, perhaps grabbing a bite to eat. She is still by herself and there are no reports of the A34s yet.

No orcas present.

The Cliff research site reported that A12 kept going east along Vancouver Island past the Ecological Reserve at 6:30pm.
