A24s arrived with a new baby!

No calls but orcas nearby

Stay tuned! Orcas on the move! There have been several reports: yesterday 30 orcas were seen off the Bella Bella area,last night there was a group off Duval Point, this morning off Black Bluff, and later (just recently) orcas easting from Lizard Point. We may get busy! A minke was also reorted off Telegraph Cove this morning. Thanks to Mackay and Stubbs Island Whale Watching for the updates.

Distant calls audible.

The A24s continue to move eastward toward the Ecological Reserve. Not sure about the reports of other groups. Only the A24s have been positively sighted.

Orcas near mics.

The A24s went past Critical Point and then turned around and now have gone all the way back west, past CP, Blackney Pass. They are now approaching Big Bay on Hanson Island.

It sounds like the A24s might have moved closer to Robson Bight.
