Distant calls audible.

We just started to hear A4 calls again on Critical Point. Just before dark last night yesterday's groups (the A12s,A4s,A8s and A36s) started to arrive back from Queen Charlotte Strait via both Blackney Pass and Weynton Pass. The incoming groups met off the entrance to Blackney and then continued to the east. The A11s, the last group, followed a short while later and may be the group now returning to the west.

Multiple pod calls audible.

We are pretty sure that Springer's granny (A24) was travelling with the A11s (the A35s were not there) when they went through Blackney this morning. Springer looked well and kicked up her tail as she passed us.

Superb sounds!!

We are listening to A4 and A36 calls in Blackfish Sound. We will see if the A36s make it all the way in tonight. Last night they retreated to Queen Charlotte Strait after being heard in Blackfish Sound briefly.
