A36s audible off Ashdown Island

06 February 2008, Cetacealab reports:

After a long, silent winter, the new whale year is here. At exactly midnight of February 5th we started to hear faint resident Orca calls which soon turned out to be the A36s!!!!

As I am writing this at1230am the brothers are audible on our “Home” station. They are most likely off Ashdown Island, where Squally Channel and Whale Channel meet.

It is such a blessing to listen to them, no boat noise, just their pure calls and the sound of waves from a diminishing storm.

Who knows, maybe we’ll even get a chance to see them tomorrow….
