Helena, Thank You for the link update www.orcalab.org Works great! Best Wishes to You and Paul!!! JudyC@Port Angeles WA 11 Oct 2024 13:40:44 PST |

Emma, you can also click on "Also see links to other live cameras" under the live screen "black boxes. That also takes you to the Explore OrcaLab feeds. JudyC@Port Angeles WA 11 Oct 2024 13:21:24 PST |
|
Orcalab, Thank You for the Oct 9 update!! Happy to hear Northern residents back! It's been a pretty good year for salmon on the Strait of Juan deFuca. Hopefully up North too!! JudyC@Port Angeles WA 11 Oct 2024 13:14:43 PST |

@Emma
go to youtube and search OrcaLab/Explore cams. the page should come up-it did for me. Addie@C river 27 Sep 2024 13:57:50 PDT |
|
Why cannot we access the cams like we used to be able to on YouTube I e just scroll across etc. When click on Channel now I just get the main cam up Emma Robinson@7 Birchwood Court 24 Sep 2024 17:03:35 PDT |

Thanks Addie! The catalogue has a wealth of info! So this is what Orcalab refers to everyday they hear the calls and see the whales? Appreciate you! :) Kristie@Kristiekat@Phoenix, AZ 26 Aug 2024 10:09:16 PDT |

Hi, Some of you have been wondering about the links here to video and sound. Both can be found on www.orcalab.org website home page. Also, the summaries are posted, with pictures, each day and some have been recorded as well. Please enjoy! And Addie you are great - thank you for helping out.

Hi again Kristiekat--- search this instead to get the link..I see it's not showing up properly. Photo-identification Catalogue and Status of the Northern Resident Killer Whale Population in 2019

Hi Kristie-yw. :) After I answered you about Surge-I tried to research what actually happened to his d. fin, and couldn't find one, so unsure of how he got the bent tip. I think over time and lots of watching you see and learn from the whales and other people. I also use DFO's ID catalogue available to view online. Click on this link:https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2020/mpo-dfo/Fs97-6-3371-eng.pdf it's from 2019 but is the latest. Good luck. :) Addie@C river 22 Aug 2024 14:51:37 PDT |
|
Thanks Addie! I keep looking for "landmarks" on each whale that will help me remember who is who. What are some tips/tricks to keep track of who is who? KristieKat@Kristie@Phoenix AZ 22 Aug 2024 10:53:58 PDT |
|
@Kristiekat, Hi, not OL but an avid watcher the whale you are asking about is A61 Surge from the A25 Matriline....he was born in 1994, his Dorsal fin bends to the left due to an accident/injury I believe. It is not normal. Hope that helps. :) Addie. Addie@C River 19 Aug 2024 11:17:29 PDT |

Love the Orcalab comments on this page. Wish they were also displayed in the YouTube comments. Do you guys need some help with getting the streams back online and shown here? Let me know, happy to volunteer to repopulate that coding and interweave the YouTube channels with this chat board. Kristiekat@Phoenix AZ 15 Aug 2024 11:55:07 PDT |

2 Orca's at Strider this morning around 11:20am. Seen in both above and underwater cams. Curious if there's a meaning behind the left curve at the top of the dorsal fin of the larger orca? Does it signify anything, age, type, region or what not? Thanks! Kristiekat@Phoenix AZ 15 Aug 2024 11:32:02 PDT |
|
Hi all lovely to hear and see the whales once again Cantab @NZ 13 Aug 2024 23:14:56 PDT |

@Heidi pretty sure you are correct. :) Addie@CR 27 Jun 2024 15:51:30 PDT |

Hey everyone. Its been a few years since I have been on this chat. I see April 20th 2024. Does that mean thats the last chat on here?

I do see the sealion & main cams appear live. Understand the rubbing beach and underwater video and sound are more difficult to manage. JudyC@Port Angeles WA 20 Apr 2024 13:43:28 PDT |
|
Will live stream come back? Understand Paul & Helena are "getting up in the years". So enjoyed the many years of live stream!!! JudyC@Port Angeles WA 20 Apr 2024 13:34:15 PDT |

Hi OL! Been awhile. I wanted to share this article I just saw. Love those orcas! https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/infamous-boat-sinking-orcas-spotted-hundreds-of-miles-from-where-they-should-be-baffling-scientist Jadziapax@Creekside 17 Apr 2024 02:52:35 PDT |

When do you plan to get the live streams back?
Miss them. . . JudyC@Port Angeles WA 14 Apr 2024 14:23:18 PDT |

Corky’s saddest day number 54
Today, December 11 2023 marks the 54th anniversary of Corky’s capture.
Unbelievable. It’s a single word, but it tells us everything we know about Corky. Her endurance: unbelievable, Her resilience: unbelievable. Her patience: unbelievable. Add any other superlative you can think of to explain how someone who has been shut off from and deprived of everything that made her is able survive day after day, month after month, year after year, decade after decade. I’ve long pondered this, and think I have the answer. She knows. Corky knows, absolutely, that people around the world are thinking about her and working to bring her home. That gives her hope. And her hope transfers easily to me. Like Corky, I believe she will come home.
Meanwhile, the Sanctuary Corky will come home to at Double Bay on Hanson Island is being prepared https://doublebaysanctuary.org/. Work on the old lodge is proceeding apace. It is already solar powered. Soon, the waters of the bay will be pristine again. First Nations, to whom Corky is family, are joining our quest. Step by step, Corky’s journey home is coming together.
That day will come.
Please join me and Helena in lighting a candle for Corky.
Thank you so much.
Paul Spong

So sorry, Tim, but we are no longer able to edit coments on this page. Looking at your comment, I see that ou haven't posted our full address including zip code, so I think you are fairly safe. If you'd like me to I can ask our technical people in Japan for help. Just let me know. All the best and take good care. Apologies again, Paul paul@OL 24 Sep 2023 08:46:25 PDT |

To Orca Lab...
When I posted on June 18, Orca lab chat page, I thought my address was requested for verification and did not suspect or expect it to be published.
Could you please remove my address or barring that, the entire post?
I have been emailing every day since June 18 and your inbox is always full.
I messaged you via Facebook and got a reply that it would be removed but it hasn’t been.
Thank you.
Tim McGuinness.

Such a sad day to lose Toki... Orcanetwork doing everything to bring her back to home waters in Salish sea. After 50+ years in captivity.
Trust Corky is OK. Captures were so evil... JudyC@Port Angeles WA 18 Aug 2023 20:38:29 PDT |

Correction?. There are at least 12 (nice to have them all on one pic😉), still heading East and are now on the western tip of Pearse Island. Oliver@Alder Bay Resort 18 Aug 2023 20:10:29 PDT |

Just saw a bunch of Orcas (about 7) heading east along the Alert Bay shoreline opposite of Alder Bay. Oliver@Alder Bay Resort 18 Aug 2023 19:55:09 PDT |

@ Brenda.
Orca Lab does not “track? anything but whales.
As far as errant boaters are concerned, Orca Lab will properly report as observed, which we should all be doing a s a matter of routine.

Does Orca Lab track those boats that appear to be coming along side the pods and report them? Brenda@Nanaimo, BC 15 Aug 2023 16:15:48 PDT |

I believe the A23’s have been very active on the camera and in Johnstone Strait with vocalizing. Would love to know if they are exhibiting hunting behaviours? Brenda@Nanaimo, BC 15 Aug 2023 16:09:30 PDT |

Orca's calling right now. Jan@Netherlands 14 Aug 2023 09:34:37 PDT |

Sunday July 23, evening.
Orca Behavior Institute report: After 13 days, the A42s finally decided to leave the Campbell River area, and we got to catch up with them this morning for a bit north of Malcolm Island, BC. Tanita Bird@Sayward BC 24 Jul 2023 06:07:46 PDT |

Regarding the Alaska spring salmon closure, I understand a US Supreme Court overruled the lower court, so the closure did not happen. Tanita Bird@Sayward BC 23 Jul 2023 15:40:03 PDT |

Oh no, I am saddened to hear about Surf passing away. That is terrible news. I fondly recall his birth, watching him grow up & I spent a great deal of time with him many years ago. He was so special. I'm sure he's reunited somewhere with his cousin Blackney. Those two were close back in the day
I dearly loved them both. Patti@Alberta 15 Jul 2023 17:28:38 PDT |

The A42s were near Hernando Island near Lund when i saw them on tour today :) Garry Henkel@Lot 5 Chinook Crescent 08 Jul 2023 16:27:04 PDT |
