A30s resting and traveling to Blackfish Sound

No calls but orcas nearby

We began hearing the A30s calling on the CP hydrophone a little before 5:45am. Since then we've heard occasional "resting" (N3) calls. We think the A30s came from the east & are probably heading west in Johnstone Strait, though we're not sure. An orangey dawn is beginning here & a southeast wind is starting to blow.

Distant calls audible.

The A30s are still in the vicinity of the entrance to Blackney Pass. They have been there most of the morning.

Boat noise

The A30s have made their way north through Blackney Pass & are now in Blackfish Sound. A fuel barge is also heading north, making lots of noise.
