Sightings Update includes a few
Transient Orca spotted as well some Pacific
White Sided Dolphins and Dall's Porpoise. There was also a large blow
seen off Rebecca Rocks, Powell River, but I only saw it the once, so
not an official report. Keep your eyes open – they are out there.

Transient
Bigg's Orca – Killer Whales
October 20:
9 am We had 3 Orca: 1 small male, 1
female and 1 juvenile at Cape Mudge Northbound.
12 pm Talked to a fisherman who said
the Orca were Southbound at Seymour Narrows.
4:30 pm On way back from Bute Inlet,
found 4 Orca at Race Point, just above Campbell River. 2 Big Fins –
looks like T101/102's heading South.

October 20:
9:05 am on Saturday October 20 around
50 dolphins (not sure type) swimming in area directly between eastern
side of Bowyer Island in Howe Sound and the mainland (North of
Vancouver half way to Squamish).
We saw a large whale a few days ago in
the distance. Roughly the same spot.
We were out in the boat this past
Wednesday and appeared to see the same group slightly south of the
island the same distance from shore just north of Horseshoe Bay. They
have curved dorsal fins. There could have easily been more than 50.

(Thanks very much for the report -
it will go into today's update. I would imagine, based on numbers
that these would be Pacific White Sided Dolphins. - SM)
October 18:
12:12 pm 3 PWS Dolphins rode the ferry
wake a short distance just off the viewpoint in Powell River and
continued heading towards Grief Point slowly.
