29 July Orcalab reports
06:54 PDT Orcas hunting fish. Good morning everyone! We are listening to echolocation and a few "B subclan" calls on the Critical Point hydrophone. It sounds like at least the C6s have returned from the east, and are fishing in Robson Bight as they make their way to the west in Johnstone Strait.
08:23 PDT Distant calls audible.We're hearing occasional distant calls on the CP hydrophone as the (probably) C6s make their way to the west. They are close to Vancouver Island, a little to the west of Kaikash.
10:14 PDT Orcas approaching Orcalab. The C6s have turned and moved over to the Hanson Island side and are nearing the east end of the island & Blackney Pass. Cp is going to start filming.
11:37 Superb sounds!!The whales are eastbound and after passing CP have headed over to the reserve.
