March 4, 2008 Ceteceanlab reports:

March 5th 2007 marked the first time that we heard the B7 matriline acoustically in the “Off” season. Almost exactly a year later on March 3rd, they were filling the underwater world with their calls in Caamano Sound once again. Faint calls were first heard early in the afternoon and a little later distant blows were visible in Squally Channel. The “Bees” were on their way north and soon after their blows and calls faded away as they rounded the corner of Gil Island. Just before midnight we heard them once again, this time as they travelled south in Whale Channel. They most likely did a “Gil Island circle”. At 1:30am the B7s were out of our acoustical range and most likely back in Caamano Sound. It sure would be nice to hear and perhaps see them again soon.
