Another
long report of Transient Bigg's Killer Whales back in our area,
Northern Resident Orca back into our inside waters in numbers,
Humpback Whales joining us through Sea Fair in Powell River and
moving North-West. Pacific White Sided Dolphins spending time
harassing the Resident Orca and avoiding the Transient Bigg's and a
few Dall's Porpoise. The winners of our two huge raffles were posted
in the previous, Special Report and once this Sightings report is
done, will be updated on our main web site.

26:
1:46
pm: I have a lone male at Port Neville, westbound. Trying to get an
ID photo shot but definitely one of the two brothers A37 and A46
known as the A36's.
Here
are a few pictures of who I am pretty sure is A-37. He was very slow,
breathing shallow, not much of a blow and was coming up a little
sideways. His bro was nowhere in the area at the time I was with him,
but Jos found A-46 on the other side of the strait on the way home,so
I guess they are still traveling together.
Leigh
Nelson, Adventure Quest Tours.
July
26:
4:05
pm A46 is on his own westbound by Adam River, Johnstone Strait at
8.2 knots.
Jos
Krijnen, Eagle Eye Adventures

of them, A37, seemed so lethargic that has us worried that he's not
well - SM.)

pm: Have been seeing whale blows off Harwood Island from Grief Point
since 7:00 p.m. No idea what species or how many. We
could not tell the direction of travel as they were too far away, but
it seemed that they were not moving just hanging out in one spot. (we
believe this sighting is most likely the Humpback Whales - SM)

28:
11:28
am Just spotted a Humpback Whale while looking at a number of boats
by the Orca. The Humpback is Eastbound on the North side of Harwood
Island heading towards the Harwood spit. It's a Humpback for sure. We
saw the blow, back and tail flukes.
John
Treen, Savary Island
July
28:
2:10
pm: Humpback whale right off Powell River now.
4:00
pm: Leigh has joined me, we are waiting for the Humpback to resurface
between Willingdon Beach and the Mill at Powell River. Motor off and
drifting, I was texting the report and expected to hear a blow
farther off. But I just about jumped out of my skiff! It surfaced
right beside me, so close I felt the spray of the blow.
I
believe this whale to be a female due to how skinny she appears to
be. There was a report of two of them with one being much smaller
earlier in the weekend while we were busy at sea fair. She is missing
half of her left side tail fluke which is well healed. This whale is
known officially as BCX0380. I'm not aware of any other name given to
her at this time, so I've nicknamed her 'Zed' due to a perfect 'Z'
marking on her right side tail fluke.
Susan
MacKay, Whales and Dolphins BC.
Did You know that all Baleen Whales have two blow holes while toothed whales have only one?

thrilled to have it pointed out and enjoyed watching the huge blows,
back and tail flukes.
10
pm Humpback Whale was still in front of the Powell River mill resting
mid-strait. It was a beautiful sight with the blows being backlit in
the distance. I watched till it was too dark to see.

27:
5:25
pm: We got a telephone call on our toll free line about a whale off
of Willingdon Beach on Sunday 27th.
Unfortunately the person did not leave their name but the call was
appreciated. We were fortunate to have this Humpback whale stay out
in front of our Sea Fair booth location, which allowed a number of
people who hadn't seen a whale in the wild before to enjoy seeing the
blows, back and tail flukes.

Brasseau Bay and Helmcken Island, first on the Vancouver island side
and then out in the channel. Don't know what he was doing, he turned
at one point and headed straight for us, got to about 40' away and
was still coming so we moved pdq. If he had come up beneath us we
would have been sunk, literally!

LINKS
Here
are a couple of videos of a very close encounter between kayakers and
a South Pacific Right Whale off the Argentinean coast. This is NOT
how to approach whales. These people look like they purposely got too
close. That being said, it's pretty amazing that the whale had the
sense of mind not to overturn the kayak!
And
here is a link to another Humpback story – this time it was the
human who averted a collision!
The
Vancouver Aquarium continues to defend the keeping and display of
cetaceans in the face of ever increasing pressure from the public.
There is still more debating and meetings being held – we will keep
you posted. Here are three news reports, so far:
A
sad report: Killer whale washes up on UK beach but cause of death is
mystery:

you seen a whale, dolphin or porpoise?
