Orcas near mics.

The A36s have pulled some of the Gs back with them to Johnstone Strait via Weynton Pass. They are headed eastward.

Distant calls audible.

The A1 calls we heard a short while ago were in Blackfish Sound. We have been waiting to see what might develop. The tide is flooding and this may mean this group might make it to Johnstone Strait.

Hmmm...the last note made need a bit of revision. We are now hearing both A1 and G clan calls off the very top end of Blackfish Sound. So we are going to wait a bit longer to see if these groups are "incoming" or as we now suspect "out going". The flooding tide is a confusing factor but : Time will tell.

Should have stuck with the first guess! The flooding tide did bring the whales into Johnstone Strait. It sounds like A12 vocals along with some of the G groups.

The 200+ dolphins that rushed through Blackney Pass to Johnstone Strait sound like they have found the A12s & Gs! By the way a lone humpback also transited Blackney Pass bound for the Strait as well.

Multiple pod calls audible.

it does sound like there are a lot of G clan groups on hand. We are also wondering if the A12s might be reunited now as there has been quite an increase in their type of calls. The groups sound like they are off the CP area now. We are finally getting real rain - only trouble is - we are not use to it now!

Forgot to mention that the A36s are there too.

Boat noise

We believe the groups carried on to the east. There have been a few bouts of dolphin calls since.
