10/17/15 08:58:31Possibly detected42.9191-65.5177Sei: 4 singlets that are classic sei, but were classified humpback call type 17. No evidence of other humpback calls. Marking as possible. Check spectrogram.
10/17/15 09:13:31Possibly detected42.9172-65.5161Sei: again there are no classified sei but several characteristic singlets classified as humpback call 17. Marking as possible. Check spectrogram.
10/17/15 11:13:31Possibly detected42.9091-65.5385Fin: p3-4 faint but consistent calling with >4 classified. Sei: 1 classified singlet and several other unclassified.
10/17/15 12:58:31Possibly detected42.9107-65.5696VERY interesting pitch tracks. Many loud LF downsweeps in pattern with harmonics. Difficult decision between marking humpback or sei. No evidence of HF calls. Patterning seems more characteristic of humpback, but downsweeps are at very low frequency. Going with possible sei because the characteristic downsweep is the only call type present. Check spectrogram.
10/17/15 13:58:31Possibly detected42.9060-65.5609Sei: loud calling continues. 1 singlet is classified sei, another humpback 17, and several others unclassified. More noise. Confident enough for sei possible.
