15 September 2007, Orcalab reports:

No orcas present.

We've heard no calls overnight, and don't know what happened to the A30s after we last heard them west of Cracroft Point. We are waiting.

Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom.

We just began to hear calls and rubs. The A30s must have returned to the east last night and are now making their way back to the west.

No calls but orcas nearby

The A30s have passed through Robson Bight and are about half way from the wstern boundary of the Ecological Reserve to Izumi rock, heading west. For the moment, they are silent.

The A30s once again got a s far as Little Kaiakash on the Vancouver Island side and then turned back to the east at 1:30pm. A38 had ventured toward CP as his group was moving west but soon crossed over to them just ahead of the turn.

Orcas near mics.

The A30s are back close to Critical Point. Maybe they are thinking about an afternoon rub? Also, we have heard that the A36s have been seen closer to Pine Island in Queen Charlotte Strait.
