Short Sightings Report! Orca, Humpback, Dolphins and Porpoise

Where are the Whales and Dolphins? Possibly one of the shortest reports we've had in a very long time! It is a big ocean out there, and with some of the rough weather, it's quite difficult to spot them, but keep your eyes open. We KNOW they are around and would love to hear about it.
With no photos submitted directly from these reports, we are including a few of the photos from earlier on this Summer. Of course, we also have some great informational links in the news too.

Here is a video that was sent in to us of some Orca enjoying themselves in Ruxton Pass, near De Courcey island.

Another link to Orca by Vashon Island:

Unfortunately there is some sad news to share with you also; it seems as though the new Southern Resident baby Orca whose arrival was so welcomed just a few months ago has died.

Lots of Dolphins, Intermittent Killer Whale and Humpback Whale Sightings

Intermittent sightings of Transient Bigg's Killer Whales and, although there are Humpback Whales transiting the area, they too have been spotted only intermittently. Pacific White Sided Dolphins are in larger groups and seem to be the most noticed, perhaps because of their numbers and wonderful leaping antics. Dall's Porpoise are regulars around Bute Inlet and have also been noticed frolicking.

Happy Thanksgiving Cetacean Sightings Update

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to everyone! Our Cetacean sightings report is a bit smaller. There are fewer people on the water, but the whales are still out there. Our work and reports continue all year round. We realize it's a big ocean which is why we need your reports please, and thank those who do report. Every report is valuable to track where these wonderful animals are going and what they're doing. From the small porpoise to the larger whales, their activity and locations give us a greater understanding and insight into their movements, welfare, and even the health of areas they travel. All of the whale, dolphin and porpoise movements on our coast are inter-related. The area we cover is so expansive that we can't piece it together without your input. We look forward to hearing from you!

A couple of interesting good-news stories this week about Blue Whales, the largest animals on the earth:


A look at how changing times have led to a huge shift in our perception towards some animals species:

A new genetic study has revealed that populations of humpback whales in the oceans of the North Pacific, North Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere are much more distinct from each other than previously thought:

And more proof, if any were needed, of the extraordinary intelligence and abilities of both Dolphins and Orca.
