Sightings Orca and Dolphins Oct 21 to 22

NOTE:
Since it’s pretty quiet out there for whale watching boaters right now, reports are getting slimmer. If you are interested in joining this network of whale sighting reporters, please contact me at susan@whalesanddolphinsbc.com or by posting a comment below to help with sightings from land or the water. No sighting report is ignored, and all information is passed on to researchers for tracking. Winter is a crucial time specifically because there are fewer people on the water. Let’s help figure out where these cetaceans travel.

Oct 22 – At least the fog lifted! But there have been no reports passed on to me, nor have I spotted anything today other than a fair bit of white caps on the water.

Oct 21 – 200 Pacific White Sided Dolphins first spotted around 9:30 am around Ripple Point at the lower end of Johnstone Strait and continued southward into Discovery Passage. Unfortunately I was in peas soup fog all day for the second day, and could not tell if they made it down into Georgia Strait.

Oct 21 – 3 Transient (meat eating) Orca were spotted – a bit out of the range from here, but since I received the report, I’m including it – they were at the top of Johnstone Strait very early in the morning and were continuing West into Queen Charlotte Strait.
