Superb sounds!!
Very close and very beautiful! The A12s,A36s are in good company with the Gs and the I31s and perhaps the I11s as well. All groups are lingering near Robson Bight: Friday night and all dressed up and somewhere to go.

14 October 2006, Orcalab reports:
No calls but orcas nearby
Jim Borrowman let us know that he thinks the I11s are between the Penfold Is. and Bold Head. They are foraging but generally headed east. The A30s,A36s and the Gs are still to the east and the humpbacks are quiet. The sun is trying after a refreshing rain.

Always a bit hectic on Town Run days. And a lot going on with the whales too. Around 12:10pm there were transient calls on CP along with the I31s (not the I11s by the way) on Flower Island. We no longer hear the transients and the I31s have disappeared into Weynton Pass. They should re-emerge in the Strait shortly. Thanks to Robin Abernathy and Jim & Jackie for help with the monitoring and sightings.

Distant calls audible.
We have been listening to I31 resting calls In the last hour. The east bound whales must be working against the tide.

Orcas near mics.
Again the I31s, a little further down the Strait.

11 October 2006, Orcalab reports:
Orcas relaxing.
It sounds like the groups that were reported in Queen Charlotte Strait yesterday afternoon have now come into Johnstone Strait. We've been hearing occasional A & G clan "resting" calls since around 5am, when the orcas were in Blackfish Sound. They were silent going through Blackney Pass but became briefly vocal when they entered Johnstone Strait.

Superb sounds!!
We've been listening to several G clan groups (I31s, I11s, G17s, probably others) along with the A30s and A36s, since they arrived in the vicinity of Robsn Bight about 2 hours ago. Boat noise has intruded occasionally, but there have been periods with just lovely orca calls as well. At the moment, we're hearing no calls, so it's possible the orcas have now moved to the east, past Robson Bight.

No orcas present.
All those whales and all to the east since 10am this morning! Most likely most of G clan were with the A30s and the A36s. We didn't hear the I15s and it was unclear if both the I11s and the I31s were there. Fortunately, what goes east will come back at some point.
