3-25-16 Unique Audio Orca Encounter

Friday, March 25th...it was 3:00 a.m. when it occurred...

...but first...let's go back to Thursday the 24th...
-rough seas
-no boat trip for me
-info from others
-only two family groups of J Pod seen
...they were last seen mid afternoon in Trincomali Channel, several miles to the northwest, in the Canadian Gulf Islands...

...hummmmm...

...in another location several miles to the northeast...
...but mid afternoon whales seen at top end of Orcas Island going northwest...
...a bit later whales seen coming down President Channel on the west side of Orcas Island (same whales or different??)...
...from President Channel they went into San Juan Channel, aiming for Friday Harbor at dusk...

Now to the audio encounter:
-orcasound hydrophones
-3:00a.m. March 25th
-lasting about 30 minutes

...who knows if they did get back together or not...we'll have to wait until they let us know.

...ps.  I'm better at whales than I am this technology stuff...one time the youtube comes up on my blog the next time there is only a link... ugh...
