Hi Susan. We first saw the Orca T19B and 6 others. Steep Island 1pm and last I heard was southbound by Shelter Point at 3 pm. Never saw any dolphins or porpoise today. Cheers.

Report at 730 this morning – circa 6-8 Orca North Bound in front of Campbell river. No one is out there yet, maybe they will turn with the flood tide.
Transient Orca arrived here at 6:30 am at the Lighthouse, (Cape Mudge - SM) traveled passed Campbell River and up to Eagles Cove and then turned and are now heading south at the moment (1:25 pm) 7 Orca

Orca Network received a call from Alexia at 12:40 pm - she was watching 2 orcas, a Mom and calf, off the north side of Sucia Island, WA heading east. She said there were hundreds of Harbor seals in the area, and with J pod out west, (open Pacific - SM) it sounds like a pair of Transient orcas.

Caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye at 10:35 am so quickly grabbed the binoculars just in time to see another blow and the half body porpoising move that's quite typical of a Minke Whale on the move. And then it was gone...me standing there scanning like mad. I'd like to say that I saw the back again to confirm 100%, but I'm only 90% sure of the sighting. Minke's are quite notorious for a few quick breaths then disappear for long periods to pop up quite a distance off. This one seemed to be on the move Northward just off Westview, Powell River.
