No orcas present.
We were not aware of any calls during the night so we will wait for the daytime reports. It will be interesting to see where A12 and the A36s are this morning.

No calls but orcas nearby
The A36s and A12 apparently turned back to the east after Boat Bay (10:30am) and they have now passed the Broken Islands and still heading east. Aaron's repot to Marie at the Cliff).

No orcas present.
No sign of A12 and the A36s yet this morning BUT orcas have been sighted in Nodales Channel (report from Hurricane Jack) so possibly this will turn out to be A12 and the brothers. A humpback passed by the Lab yesterday evening fairly close to the Lab in the fading light.

I thought to post Aaron's report on this side for the record. Thanks Aaaron so very much! "1pm, left the 3 whales @ Hall Pt. @ the N tip of Sonora Island, well spread out, happily foraging this way then that, close to the shore in calm glittering waters, possibly in Frederick Arm by now. No vocals that I could hear, just clicks. The tide is beginning to turn and they will likely swim back out to the W. with it. " Aaron@sonora@sonora

Orcas near mics.
The A36s with A12 cleared into Blackfish Sound at 3:05pm afterforaging for quite a while off of Big Bay in Johnstone Strait. A humpback and minke whale in Blackney Pass complimented another full day today.

The A36s and most likely A12 are back in Johnstone Strait. Humpbacks have been in Blackney Pass the entire day. Just now, one fellow was heading north through the Pass.

A12 is back with the 2 brothers A36s
No calls but orcas nearby
The dolphins have all gone through to Johnstone Strait. meanwhile, the orcas in Queen Charlotte Strait have been identified as A37, A46 (the remaining two brothers of the A36s) and A12. They are till lingering off of Lizard Point. No direction home yet. Still west of Blackfish Sound and out of range. Jared Towers supplied the identification.

The A36s, with A12, are reported to be heading east in Blackfish Sound. They are silent, but there's a good chance we'll see them soon!

Superb sounds!!
The A36s, with A12, are just now entering Johnstone Strait. They called before entry - so great to hear them again!

These lovely calls are from the two A36 brothers as they near Robson Bight. A12 led the brothers into Johnstone Strait at 4:41pm. We have heard her only briefly so far.
