Right whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/30/23 12:19:49Possibly detected49.1709-63.7263Upcall bout in P1-2, with 6 upcalls classified as HW call type 18. These are off- beat calls, and despite several downcalls in P4 and two tonal moans in P6, there is no evidence of humpback whale song. The upcalls are all very shapely and mid- amplitude, however, none of the putative upcalls are classified as NARW, all have relatively steep slopes, and the other call types present in this period could plausibly be produced by either species. Therefore, it is not possible to definitely attribute these calls to either right whales or humpbacks, so this period has been marked to indicate the possibility of either species' presence.
