Sei whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
07/06/23 00:19:49Possibly detected48.5144-62.0682Possible SW downsweep (classified) in P7.
07/06/23 03:19:49Possibly detected48.5131-62.0682Possible SW downsweep (classified) in P5.
07/06/23 05:34:49Detected48.5070-62.0791Possible SW downsweeps in P6 & 12 (four classified), P16 (one classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence), and P2, 3, 8, & 9 (unclassified). There is an additional downsweep in P12 that appears as if it may be concave down, although it is very short in duration, which makes it difficult to tell for sure. However, this indicates the possibility of blue AND/OR sei whale presence. All calls in this period have similar (mid) amplitudes.
07/06/23 06:19:49Possibly detected48.5068-62.0797Likely BW D calls in P6 & 8; both are high amplitude and the call in P6 is concave down. Possible SW downsweeps in P9 (classified) and P10 & 12 (unclassified); these are lower amplitude than the presumable BW D calls and the SW classification indicates the potential of both species being present. There is an additional unclassified, mid-amplitude downsweep in P2, although its pitch track is broken, so it is difficult to tell whether it is most indicative of a BW D call or a SW downsweep.
07/06/23 06:34:49Possibly detected48.5068-62.0799Possible SW downsweeps in P12 & 13 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of HW presence) and P2 (unclassified); the calls in P2 & 12 have similar (mid) amplitudes. Probable BW D calls in P13 & 16; both are high amplitude, long- duration calls and the one in P13 is concave down.
07/06/23 06:49:49Possibly detected48.5067-62.0801Possible SW downsweeps in P12 (one classified) and P5, 9, & 10 (unclassified). Possible RW upcalls in 15 (one classified) & 14 (three unclassified); all four are very low amplitude and relatively short-duration, but well isolated with reasonable shapes; potential RW tonal moan in P12 (classified as HW call type 16; no evidence of humpback whale presence) that is the same amplitude as the possible upcalls later in the period. Probable BW D call in P8 that has a long duration and high amplitude, which differentiates it from all other pitch tracks in the tally period.
07/06/23 08:34:49Possibly detected48.5056-62.0430Possible SW downsweeps in P2 & 10 (classified), P14 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence), and P12 (unclassified); all have similar amplitudes and none are discernably concave down to indicate definitive continued blue whale presence, although that is certainly a possibility. Potential RW upcall in P6 and, although it is low amplitude and unclassified, it is well isolated and has a good shape.
07/06/23 21:04:49Possibly detected48.5378-62.1116One possible SW downsweep (classified) in P5.

07/06/23 06:49:49Possibly detected48.5067-62.0801Possible SW downsweeps in P12 (one classified) and P5, 9, & 10 (unclassified). Possible RW upcalls in 15 (one classified) & 14 (three unclassified); all four are very low amplitude and relatively short-duration, but well isolated with reasonable shapes; potential RW tonal moan in P12 (classified as HW call type 16; no evidence of humpback whale presence) that is the same amplitude as the possible upcalls later in the period. Probable BW D call in P8 that has a long duration and high amplitude, which differentiates it from all other pitch tracks in the tally period.


Blue whale:

07/06/23 05:49:49Detected48.5069-62.0793Presumable BW D calls in P12, 15, & 16; the calls in 12 & 16 appear to be concave down, while all three calls have similar (high) amplitudes. There is an additional downsweep in P2 that is lower amplitude than the three at the end of the tally period, so it could be either a fourth blue whale D call or a separate sei whale downsweep.
07/06/23 06:04:49Detected48.5069-62.0795Presumable BW D calls in P6, 11, & 16, all of which are similar amplitude and appear to have portions of pitch track that are concave down. Additional unclassified dowsweeps are in P2, 7, & 11; these are lower amplitude than the mid- to high-amplitude BW calls, so could either be additional BW D calls or separate SW downsweeps.

Probable BW D calls in P13 & 16; both are high amplitude, long- duration calls and the one in P13 is concave down.
07/06/23 07:04:49Possibly detected48.5066-62.0803Presumable BW D calls in P5, 8, & 13, all of which have long durations and high amplitudes; only the call in P5 is convincingly concave down, so BW presence has been left as 'possible'.
07/06/23 07:19:49Detected48.5066-62.0805BW D calls in P3, 8, 11, & 13-16, all of which have long durations and high amplitudes; the calls in P8, 11, 13, & 14 all appear to have concave down portions to their pitch tracks.

07/06/23 08:49:49Possibly detected48.5057-62.0431Probable BW D calls in P5 & 13-15; all four calls have long durations and high amplitudes, and the call in P13 has a concave-down portion at the start of its pitch track.
07/06/23 09:34:49Possibly detected48.5060-62.0434Likely BW D calls in P4, 7, & 16; the call in P4 appears to be concave down.
07/06/23 09:49:49Possibly detected48.5061-62.0435Likely BW D calls in P3 & 5 (despite the call in P3 being classified as a SW downsweep); the call in P5 appears to be concave down.
07/06/23 10:04:49Possibly detected48.5063-62.0436Likely BW D calls in P14 & 15 (despited the call in P14 being classified as a SW downsweep); the call in P14 appears to be concave down.

07/06/23 07:19:4948.5066-62.0805BW D calls in P3, 8, 11, & 13-16, all of which have long durations and high amplitudes; the calls in P8, 11, 13, & 14 all appear to have concave down portions to their pitch tracks.
07/06/23 07:34:4948.5065-62.0807BW D calls in P2, 7, 8, & 10-12, all of which have long durations and high amplitudes; the calls in P7, 8, & 13 all appear to have concave down portions to their pitch tracks.

07/06/23 07:59:5648.5065-62.0809Possible BW D calls in P7 & 8, neither of which is concave down; the call in P7 is classified as a SW downsweep, but both calls have high amplitudes similar to verified blue whale calls in immediately preceding periods, so the probability of this call being a true sei whale is very low.
07/06/23 08:19:4948.5055-62.0429One likely BW D call in P2, based on its duration, high amplitude, and the context of preceding tally periods.
07/06/23 08:34:4948.5056-62.0430Possible SW downsweeps in P2 & 10 (classified), P14 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence), and P12 (unclassified); all have similar amplitudes and none are discernably concave down to indicate definitive continued blue whale presence, although that is certainly a possibility. Potential RW upcall in P6 and, although it is low amplitude and unclassified, it is well isolated and has a good shape.
07/06/23 08:49:4948.5057-62.0431Probable BW D calls in P5 & 13-15; all four calls have long durations and high amplitudes, and the call in P13 has a concave-down portion at the start of its pitch track.
07/06/23 09:04:4948.5058-62.0432Presumable BW D calls in P4, 5, 8, 10, & 12 (four classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence); although none of the five calls are concave down (most lack discernable concavity), they have long durations and high amplitudes akin to presumable BW D calls in immediately preceding tally periods.
07/06/23 09:19:4948.5059-62.0433Possible BW D calls in P5, 9, & 16; although the call in P16 looks as though it may be concave down, it is difficult to determine definitively, so BW have been left as 'not detected' for this period.
07/06/23 09:34:4948.5060-62.0434Likely BW D calls in P4, 7, & 16; the call in P4 appears to be concave down.
07/06/23 09:49:4948.5061-62.0435Likely BW D calls in P3 & 5 (despite the call in P3 being classified as a SW downsweep); the call in P5 appears to be concave down.
07/06/23 10:04:4948.5063-62.0436Likely BW D calls in P14 & 15 (despited the call in P14 being classified as a SW downsweep); the call in P14 appears to be concave down.
07/06/23 10:19:4948.5064-62.0437Likely BW D calls in P3 & 5; the call in P3 appears to be concave down.
07/06/23 10:34:4948.5065-62.0437Possible BW D call in P9; it is the only potential call in the period and it is not concave down, although it has a similar duration and amplitude to previous probable BW D calls in preceding tally periods.
07/06/23 10:49:4948.5066-62.0438Possible BW D call in P7 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence); it is the only potential call in the period and it is not concave down, although it has a similar duration and amplitude to previous probable BW D calls in preceding tally periods.
07/06/23 20:49:4948.5378-62.1116Possible BW D call/SW downsweep (unclassified) in P6.
