07/03/23 06:14:52Possibly detected47.7096-63.3190Two classified RW upcalls in P7-8. The first call in P7 is loud, has good shape, and both frequency and amplitude distinguish it from other pitch tracks around. The second call in P8 seems to have artifacts and its amplitude is lower, but it still has good shape and its frequency differs from surrounding sounds. These are probably RW upcalls, but they are in an odd context where other pitch tracks are found just between the two classified calls.
07/03/23 19:14:52Possibly detected47.7789-63.2561Two classified RW upcalls in P10-11. Although the first classified call is very short, it is partially high amplitude and appears to have a reasonable shape despite the artifacts. The second call has an artifact in the middle and inconsistent amplitude, but its checkmark shape can be produced by RWs.
07/03/23 22:14:52Detected47.7831-63.2635Five classified RW upcalls in P6, P8, P13, P14, and P15. Possible unclassified RW upcalls in P4 and P12. Possible RW upcall in P7 that was classified as HW. The call in P6 is loud, isolated, and has adequate shape with some artifacts, while most other calls are low-amplitude and have several artifacts. The calls in P13-15 are not completely isolated. However, because there are several classified calls and some are isolated and off-beat, I am marking this period as Detected.

07/03/23 00:14:5247.6747-63.3288Classified RW upcall in P4. Although the call seems to have adequate shape, it has an artifact and is surrounded by low-frequency pitch tracks that are likely background noise.
07/03/23 01:44:5247.6873-63.3289One classified RW upcall in P3. Although it seems to have adequate shape and frequency, the call is low-amplitude and has artifacts.
