Sightings Oct 31 to Nov 1
Nov 1 – With hopes of spotting the dolphins again, I scanned the waters when I could, but spotted nothing. I’m told by the Cetacean Sightings Network team that there had been no sightings reports from this area other than mine. I can’t watch the ocean all day and would love to hear of any sightings from you
Oct 31 – 30 plus Pacific White Sided Dolphins were chasing feed in their high speed chase patterns then stopping to feed. They were spotted off the Willingdon Beach around 12pm and worked their way towards Grief Point in front of Powell River. They were moving pretty quickly with stops to feed in between.
Oct 31 – Not a large group of Pacific White Sided Dolphins were spotted around 11:20 am close to the Texada shore just above VanAnda. Due to the distance, I couldn’t get a number or direction on them. The only reason I knew they were dolphins was by the leaps.
Oct 31 – 6 either Dalls or Harbour porpoises were foraging closer to Harwood Island at around 9 am and then later were spotted close to Powell River’s South Harbour breakwater. Lots of bird activity now, so the feed must be in.

Just discovered your blog – I have photos of the Pacific White Sided Dolphins on Oct 31 taken from the Comox Ferry as it was coming in to dock at noon. Also spotted 4 or so Orcas on that crossing heading north halfway between Comox and Texada. I only managed to capture photos of a couple of dorsal fins. I live at Grief Point and am always on the lookout so will keep you posted in the future.
Pod of Orcas heading north just lollygagging off of Beach Gardens Marina at the moment 11:32 am Sat Nov 4th
Hi Margie,
You might like to update your bookmark to newer sightings. Thanks for the report which I will copy to the December postings. I'd email you directly, but don't have your email and hope that you're checking this link.
Regards,
Susan
