Killer Whale / Orca Sightings Oct 23 to Oct 24
Oct 24 – 2 and possibly more Killer Whales / Orca at 5:45 pm between the top of Texada Island and Rebecca Rocks out from Powell River. The seas were up from the winds making anything difficult to spot. I thought I’d take a quick scan with the binoculars and was surprised to catch an Orca breaching. I did see at least two dorsals, but couldn’t tell if I saw more than that in the waves. They appeared to be heading in a NW direction.
Oct 23 – Saw some splashes, but can’t guarantee they were from any type of cetacean. May have been some of the dolphins that were around Nanaimo a few days ago, or could have just been some sealions.
