There were reports this morning (July 30) of killer whales at Point Roberts so we headed out north only to be caught in fog so we turned back towards Race Rocks in hopes to finds whales out there. Upon arrival we found a few whale watchers with a couple of humpback whales. It was a sunny and breezy afternoon as we stayed with these whales most of the day while patrolling the ecological reserve.

Today we followed the L12' along False Bay as they travelled south through a strong 3 knot flood tide. Boat traffic and incidents were moderate and it was great to see everyone doing their best to cooperate. During our sound recordings we were fortunate to hear the whales making several calls. We spotted a Dall's porpoise twice during the day.

Today was a bit rough on the water so we were out for half the day. Managed to get a sample ambient recording near Kellet Bluff in a sea state of 4. We saw a group of six harbour porpoises traveling east at noon 2 mile off the bluff (48' 32", 123' 13"). This maybe the species the transients were feeding on the other day.

Today started out a bit windy and rainy but ended with glorious sunshine and calm water. We watched a single transient in the morning (10:30) off 10-mile point until it reached Trial Island. Then a humpback whale appeared off the northwest end of Discovery Island and we followed it into the middle of Haro Strait (12:00). A report of 6 transients showed up about 3 miles off the northeast side of Discovery Island and we monitored the few boats with the whales (T20 and T21 group) until the end of the day. We watched them hunting and acquired a lung sample from one if their kills.
