Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
07/18/23 10:14:52Possibly detected47.4876-63.5479One classified RW upcall in P11. The call is loud with good shape and duration, although it has small artifacts at the end. It is off-beat from other pitch tracks around.
07/18/23 15:14:52Possibly detected47.4943-63.5298One classified RW upcall in P2; it is loud with adequate shape, and its frequency distinguishes from other sounds.
07/18/23 23:14:52Detected47.4897-63.5082Three classified RW upcalls in P4, 10, and 11. Possible RW upcalls in P2 and 10 (unclassified). Two out of the three calls in P10-11 are perfect, and the third one is classified and isolated.

Date/time (local)LatitudeLongitudeNotes
07/18/23 00:29:5247.5042-63.5920Possible biological sounds in P10; isolated, low-frequency, low- to mid-amplitude, and short-duration.
07/18/23 04:29:5247.5035-63.5878One classified RW upcall in P10. It could be a loud call with harmonics, but the main call is in the lower boundary of RW frequency range and has artifacts. Since this is the only detection in the period, it is hard to assess with confidence.
07/18/23 06:14:5247.4974-63.5746Possible biological sounds in P8 and 11 (unclassified); low- to mid-amplitude and short-duration.
07/18/23 10:14:5247.4876-63.5479One classified RW upcall in P11. The call is loud with good shape and duration, although it has small artifacts at the end. It is off-beat from other pitch tracks around.
07/18/23 10:29:5247.4884-63.5459Possible RW upcall in P4 classified as HW. It is very short-duration with an artifact, making the shape less clear, besides having a few pitch tracks of similar frequency and amplitude around.
07/18/23 12:44:5247.4942-63.5344One classified RW upcall in P3. Although the call seems to have a checkmark shape, it is short-duration, mid-amplitude, and is preceded by a pitch track of similar frequency on the same panel.
07/18/23 15:14:5247.4943-63.5298One classified RW upcall in P2; it is loud with adequate shape, and its frequency distinguishes from other sounds.
07/18/23 18:14:5247.4945-63.5219Classified FW pulses in P14 with INI = 8, but the period has similar low-frequency pitch tracks across multiple panels that are likely attributable to background noise.
07/18/23 19:14:5247.4913-63.5166Possible RW upcall classified as HW in P9. Although the call is loud, it has a large artifact in the middle that defines its shape, making it less convincing.
07/18/23 21:14:5247.4888-63.5105One classified RW upcall in P2. It is a poorly-defined call in terms of shape and duration, and it is not isolated. In addition, the presence of possible biological sounds in P6 makes this call less convincing of a RW detection.
07/18/23 22:14:5247.4892-63.5093Possible HW sounds, but there is not enough evidence.
07/18/23 23:14:5247.4897-63.5082Three classified RW upcalls in P4, 10, and 11. Possible RW upcalls in P2 and 10 (unclassified). Two out of the three calls in P10-11 are perfect, and the third one is classified and isolated.
