22 August 2007, Orcalab reports:


Multiple pod calls audible.

As the "groups" (the A30s, A4s, A5s, I15s, I33s, A12s) continued eastward in Johnstone Strait we began to hear not only the A36s in Blackfish Sound BUT also R clan calls! Never rains but pours.

Sorry I have to make a correction. I was too excited about the Rs. Apparently, they were heard in johnstone Strait not Blackfish Sound! The A36s are in Blackfish Sound.

Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom.

Recently, the A4s then the A5s have taken a turn at the beaches. The A36s are still vocal in Blackfish Sound. No further R calls - a mystery!
