Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
07/05/23 01:14:52Possibly detected47.8526-63.4046Two classified RW upcalls in P9 and P12. The call in P9 has adequate shape and is distinguished from other sounds. The call in P12 has good shape and duration, but it is low-amplitude and is surrounded by higher-frequency sounds.
07/05/23 03:29:52Possibly detected47.8593-63.4303Two classified RW upcalls in P3-4. They have similar shape and duration. The first one is a mid- to high-amplitude call, and the second one is isolated.
07/05/23 06:14:52Possibly detected47.8645-63.4583Two classified RW upcalls in P6 and P11. Both calls have a nice shape and are low- amplitude. The first call differs from surrounding noise in frequency, and the second call is isolated.
07/05/23 07:14:52Possibly detected47.8628-63.4628Two classified RW upcalls in P11. The first one has a good shape, longer duration, and is mid- to low-amplitude. The second one is shorter in duration and has lower amplitude.
07/05/23 08:29:52Detected47.8606-63.4685Two classified RW upcalls in P3-4 (and three others that are not shown). The calls are loud, have good shape and long duration, and their frequency distinguishes them from surrounding sounds.
07/05/23 09:14:52Possibly detected47.8593-63.4719Possible RW upcalls (unclassified) in P5, P6, and P8. They are loud, have good shape and long duration. However, they are not classified and the classified calls are not shown. I am marking Possibly detected because there are no classified RW upcalls in this period.
07/05/23 10:14:52Possibly detected47.8591-63.4730One classified RW upcall in P4. It is frequency- and amplitude-modulated, fairly isolated, though it has two large artifacts that make its shape less convincing.
07/05/23 11:14:52Possibly detected47.8591-63.4735One classified RW upcall in P16 and possible two other upcalls (unclassified). The classified call has good shape and duration, and is partially high-amplitude. The calls are distinguished from lower-frequency sounds nearby.
07/05/23 12:14:52Possibly detected47.8591-63.4739Two classified RW upcalls in P9 and 11. Possible RW upcall in P4 (unclassified). The classified calls have nice shape and are frequency and amplitude-modulated, with the call in P9 being louder. The calls precede or are preceded by a series of low-frequency pitch tracks likely attributable to background noise. Still, two reasonable calls are convincing of a possibly detected RW.
07/05/23 13:14:52Possibly detected47.8592-63.4744One classified RW upcall in P11 with adequate shape and duration, but it is very low-amplitude. Possible RW upcall (unclassified) in P6, which is loud and short- duration. Possible RW upcall in P6 classified as HW, but it is faint and broken. One faint, classified upcall and a loud, unclassified second call make a good case for a possibly detected RW.
07/05/23 16:14:52Possibly detected47.8855-63.5196One classified RW upcall in P3. The call is loud, has a nice shape and long duration, and is distinguished from other sounds. Possible RW upcall in P5 classified as HW. This one is also loud and nicely shaped, although it has a large artifact. There is a third possible RW upcall in P11, which is also loud and has good shape and duration. However, only one upcall was classified as RW.
07/05/23 19:14:52Possibly detected47.8890-63.5302Two classified RW upcalls in P13. The calls are loud with harmonics.
07/05/23 20:14:52Detected47.8891-63.5299Four classified RW upcalls in P13-15. They all have good shape and duration. Two of them are loud calls. The first upcall is surrounded by noise, but the other three are well distinguished from lower-frequency sounds.
07/05/23 21:14:52Possibly detected47.8892-63.5296Three classified RW upcalls in P8, 9, and 11. Four other possible RW upcalls (unclassified) in P9-10 and P13. Most of the calls have similar shape and duration, some of them with artifacts. There are three louder calls in P8-9 (two are unclassified). The remaining calls are low-amplitude. The call in P10 has a checkmark shape. However, there is a lot of tonal noise and only one of the classified upcalls has good shape and is high-amplitude.
07/05/23 23:14:52Possibly detected47.8710-63.5478Two classified RW upcalls in P10 and P15. The first call is low-amplitude with surrounding pitch tracks at similar amplitude and approximate frequency. The second call is loud with good shape and duration.


Humpback whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
07/05/23 22:14:52Possibly detected47.8655-63.5369Presumable HW song; amplitude- and frequency-modulated calls are repeated across multiple panels, with few large artifacts. Although this period is suggestive of HW, there is no clear repetition of any particular portion of the song. There is a classified RW upcall in P8, but the presence of HW song makes it suspicious.


Blue whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
07/05/23 14:14:52Possibly detected47.8801-63.5005Possible BW calls in P9-10. The calls are similar amplitudes and fall in the appropriate frequency range for BW D calls, and the call in P10 is concave down.
