Sei whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/18/23 06:49:49Possibly detected48.5117-62.1000Possible SW downsweeps in P16 (classified) and 11 & 14 (unclassified), however, these calls should be treated with skepticism, as BW presence has been marked in several preceding periods.
08/18/23 08:04:49Possibly detected48.5123-62.1008Possible SW downsweep (classified) in P6, however, this call should be treated with skepticism, as BW presence has been marked in several preceding periods.
08/18/23 19:34:49Possibly detected48.5275-62.1205Possible SW downsweeps in P3 (classified), P16 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence), and P4 (unclassified).
08/18/23 21:49:49Possibly detected48.5490-62.1460Five possible SW downsweeps in P7 (two classified); these may be BW D calls instead, although none of the five calls have discernible downward concavity.
08/18/23 23:34:49Possibly detected48.5498-62.1456Possible SW downsweeps (classified) in P4 & 5.


Fin whale:

08/18/23 00:04:49Possibly detected48.5343-62.1249Three possible FW pulses in sequence (two classified) in P7 with an INI = 8 seconds.


Right whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/18/23 00:19:49Possibly detected48.5343-62.1248One classified RW upcall in P10 that is mid-amplitude, well-isolated, and shapely. There are two additional possible upcalls in P9 & 10, although these have very short durations, low amplitudes, lack convincing shapes, and are unclassified.


Blue whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/18/23 04:34:49Detected48.5184-62.1009BW D calls in P7-11 & 13-16; the calls in P8 & 15 have clear downward concavity. The first call in P7, despite being classified as SW call type 1, appears as if it is likely to be a concave-down BW D call, it simply has a broken pitch track.
08/18/23 05:49:49Possibly detected48.5112-62.0993Possible BW D calls in P2, 6, 9, 14, & 15; the call in P15 appears to be concave- down.
08/18/23 06:19:49Possibly detected48.5115-62.0997Possible BW D calls in P2, 3, 5, 12, & 15; the calls in P3 & 5 appear to have downward concavity, although it's difficult to tell for sure, so BW have been left as 'possibly detected'.
08/18/23 07:19:49Possibly detected48.5120-62.1003Possible BW D calls in P4, 7, 10, 12, 15, & 16; the call in P7 appears to have a concave-down portion to its pitch track.
08/18/23 07:34:49Possibly detected48.5121-62.1004Possible BW D calls in P10 & 13, both of which appear to be concave-down.
08/18/23 19:49:49Possibly detected48.5275-62.1205Beautiful BW calls in P13, the third of which is concave-down.
08/18/23 22:49:49Detected48.5494-62.1458BW D calls in P11 & 12; the third call in P11 and the single call in P12 both appear to have downward concavity, indicating positive blue whale presence.



Notes:

Date/time (local)LatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/18/23 00:04:4948.5343-62.1249Three possible FW pulses in sequence (two classified) in P7 with an INI = 8 seconds.
08/18/23 00:19:4948.5343-62.1248One classified RW upcall in P10 that is mid-amplitude, well-isolated, and shapely. There are two additional possible upcalls in P9 & 10, although these have very short durations, low amplitudes, lack convincing shapes, and are unclassified.
08/18/23 00:31:2048.5199-62.0976One classified RW upcall in P3, although it has a short duration, very low amplitude, and an artifact distorting its shape. There is an additional possible upcall in P5, although it too has a short duration, low amplitude, several artifacts resulting in a jagged pitch track, and is unclassified. Despite a possible mid-amplitude RW moan in P4, this period has been left as 'not detected', as neither potential upcall is especially convincing.
08/18/23 01:04:4948.5200-62.0981One classified RW upcall in P10, but it is low amplitude and has no structure to indicate that it is a genuine call. Other possible upcalls are in P3-6, but all of these are very short in duration, have low amplitudes, lack convincing shapes, and are unclassified.
08/18/23 02:19:4948.5200-62.0993Possible RW upcall in P7; although it is mid-amplitude and classified, it has a short duration, a small artifact on the end of it, and is not overly shapely. There is a second classified upcall in P6, although has a very short duration, low amplitude, and lacks a good shape. Therefore, this period has been left as 'not detected', as neither potential upcall is especially convincing.
08/18/23 02:34:4948.5200-62.0995Possible RW upcall in P9 (classified as HW call type 18); although it is relatively low amplitude, it is well-isolated and appears to be quite shapely, however, the presence of artifacts makes it difficult to tell whether this sound has been erroneously distorted or is a genuine call.
08/18/23 04:34:4948.5184-62.1009BW D calls in P7-11 & 13-16; the calls in P8 & 15 have clear downward concavity. The first call in P7, despite being classified as SW call type 1, appears as if it is likely to be a concave-down BW D call, it simply has a broken pitch track.
08/18/23 05:19:4948.5110-62.0990One classified RW upcall in P12, however, it has a very low amplitude and short duration, so it is difficult to tell whether it is a genuine call.
08/18/23 05:49:4948.5112-62.0993Possible BW D calls in P2, 6, 9, 14, & 15; the call in P15 appears to be concave- down.
08/18/23 06:04:4948.5113-62.0995Possible BW D calls in P2 & 9; neither has discernible downward concavity.
08/18/23 06:19:4948.5115-62.0997Possible BW D calls in P2, 3, 5, 12, & 15; the calls in P3 & 5 appear to have downward concavity, although it's difficult to tell for sure, so BW have been left as 'possibly detected'.
08/18/23 06:34:4948.5116-62.0998Possible BW D calls in P3, 11, 14, & 16; none of these calls have discernible downward concavity.
08/18/23 06:49:4948.5117-62.1000Possible SW downsweeps in P16 (classified) and 11 & 14 (unclassified), however, these calls should be treated with skepticism, as BW presence has been marked in several preceding periods.
08/18/23 07:04:4948.5118-62.1001Possible BW D call in P15.
08/18/23 07:19:4948.5120-62.1003Possible BW D calls in P4, 7, 10, 12, 15, & 16; the call in P7 appears to have a concave-down portion to its pitch track.
08/18/23 07:34:4948.5121-62.1004Possible BW D calls in P10 & 13, both of which appear to be concave-down.
08/18/23 07:49:4948.5122-62.1006Possible BW D call in P15 that appears to be concave-down.
08/18/23 08:04:4948.5123-62.1008Possible SW downsweep (classified) in P6, however, this call should be treated with skepticism, as BW presence has been marked in several preceding periods.
08/18/23 08:19:4948.5124-62.1009Possible BW D call in P9 that has no discernible downward concavity.
08/18/23 08:34:4948.5124-62.0996Possible BW D calls in P10 & 11; the call in P11 appears to be concave-down, although it is difficult to tell for sure because of its short duration.
08/18/23 19:34:4948.5275-62.1205Possible SW downsweeps in P3 (classified), P16 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence), and P4 (unclassified).
08/18/23 19:49:4948.5275-62.1205Beautiful BW calls in P13, the third of which is concave-down.

08/18/23 23:34:4948.5498-62.1456Possible SW downsweeps (classified) in P4 & 5.
