26 October Orcalab reports:

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.

No calls but orcas nearby

The A36s are now up between Big Bay and the top edge of Hanson Island. They are foraging and it looks like one of the brothers is surrounded by Dalls Porpoises. We had the first snow on the mountains last night, while this evening more storms are forecast.

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.

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.

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.
