28 October Orcalab reports:

No orcas present.

Good morning everyone! We heard no calls overnight & are not sure what happened to the A12s & A36s. We are waiting, & meanwhile having a very wet morning after yesterday's storm.

Orcas (may be) approaching cameras.

The A36s are off CP at the moment.

Orcas approaching Orcalab.

It looks like the A36s are heading north into Blackney Pass, taking an easy ride on the ebbing tide. They are silent for the moment & are passing a tug heading south into Johnstone Strait.

No calls but orcas nearby

We've been listening to the A36s at the "top" of Blackfish Sound for more than the past hour... they are silent at the moment, but probably not far away.

No orcas present.

We've heard no calls for several hours, & think the A36s probably continued to the north from Blackfish Sound. However, we aren't sure. We are waiting.

No orcas present.

I just reviewed the tapes from around 6pm after the A36s went into Blackfish Sound and a few additional calls were heard. The A5s are clearly there! This might explain why the A36s were in such a rush.
