Reportedly,this morning at about 10 am, 6 Orca arrived in Fredricks Arm at the Northeastern end of Nodales Channel by Sonora Island. They are now (11:30 am) leaving with the ebbing tide. Interestingly, they arrived yesterday on the ebb tide, swimming against the current for some hours which is quite unusual. They must have been very determined to get here. There were some lovely vocals and a breach or two as they neared the end of the inlet, appearing to feed on the fish herded ahead of them by their calls and echolocation clicks.
