Bigg's Killer Whales (Transient Orca)
all over the place, Humpback Whales, some Dall's Porpoise and our
ever friendly and active Pacific White Sided Dolphins. Even I managed
to be on the water with some Orca. I managed to get a few photos for
ID's which I will eventually get to, but I'm getting such great
photos for the Blog that I am very happy to give them priority.

I don’t like to give you second hand
reports and will try to get my friend to email you. BUT there were
several Orcas at Black Point( foot of Donkersley) last night
(June 26th) at 5 PM. She said the
seals were hanging close to the shore. (just South of Powell River
proper - SM)

These two gangs of Orca came
through Campbell River today. They are not animals that I can
say I have ever see come through here actually. Mostly they were just
travelling through the area today. The most action we witnessed was
some speed swimming past the entrance to the Campbell itself. Excited
to see this gang through...means in 2 days we had 24 different
Biggs (Transient) Killers in our area!

11:23 am 8 or 9 Orca Northbound
between Harwood and Vivian Islands. It was a treat to be on the
water with them, but they were hard to watch, doing long dives. There
were at least two calves and included T086A, T086A1 and T086A3
plus others that I still need to confirm ID's of. By 12 pm I lost
sight of them somewhere between Grant's Reef and Savary Island.
