Jared & Christie spotted the T019's and T055's by Donegal Head this afternoon, they headed South in Weynton. This may have been who we were listening to earlier today!?!

We've got beautiful, clear Transient calls on Flower Island!

The Transient calls lasted for about 15 minutes before they abruptly stopped calling on Flower Island. Wonder who they were?

Wow, what a great morning! We got a report of 5 transients headed East by Alert Bay at 0900 this morning. Then we spotted 5 transients, 1 male, 1 sprouter & 3 smaller fins, (most likely the same ones) heading South in Blackney. They went deep into Parson Bay, maybe having some lunch, when all of a sudden another group of 4 transients, 1male & 3 small fins, showed up mid-channel in Balckney also heading South!!! They are all out of view now still Southbound in a lose group. We have only heard one vocal so stay tuned there may be more?!!?

The T010's were definitely in the mix in the first group, stay tuned for other ID's...
Marie
The second group was the T55s! They had a brief meeting with a few individuals from the first group before they all headed east in Johnstone Strait, in their original groupings. They were last spotted from CP around 1220 abeam Robson Bight.
It appears that the 2 females with the T010's yesterday were T026 and T026A.

It appears as though the 6 Orca we spotted heading South out of Baronet were the T19s and T55s We can also conclusively say that the calls heard late last night were in fact Transient calls and the calls earlier in the evening were Offshores. So, this means that it was a day filled with 2 Orca ecotypes in the area. Wow!
