Catching Up Sightings Aug 1-6: Humpback Whales Galore in Our Inside Waters
This is the second in our Catching Up on our Cetacean Sightings Reports covering everything we have between August 1 to August 6. There are two reports that we missed at time of publishing, we apologize for that. Every sightings report is valuable and appreciated. Rest assured that it will go into the data files helping us track the animals.
We have been seeing an unprecedented number, in over twenty years, of Humpback Whales in the Northern Georgia Strait. Grey Whales too have been few and far between and are making a resurgence in our areas. Northern Resident pods are up and down Johnstone Strait. Our usual Transient Bigg’s Orca, in particular the T02Cs, who we nicknamed our ‘resident Transients’ have taken a trip down to the Saturna Island area in the lower Georgia Strait. Dolphins and many Porpoise are staying in the upper inside channels.
