Fin whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
12/11/20 22:17:14Detected38.8611-74.3224Possible RW upcalls in P2-3, 5-6 but then an upcall bout starts in P11 that looks like it could be HW. I’m highly suspicious of the calls here. It is difficult to tell whether these are RWs or isolated HW calling.
12/11/20 23:32:14Detected38.8697-74.3273Classified RW upcalls throughout this period with a possible moan in P13. A couple of the upcalls are steeper than usual (P6 and 8) and I am still suspicious of HW upcalling here.


Right whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
12/11/20 02:02:14Detected38.9450-74.3991Loud, classified RW upcalls in P1, 4, and 6. The calls are steeper than normal, but have the checkmark shape.
12/11/20 02:17:14Possibly detected38.9441-74.3987Nice classified RW upcall in P3 with two other possible upcalls in P7-8 but one has a HW classification and is very steep. There is also a possible moan in P1. There isn’t any other evidence of HW presence aside from possibly the call in P7.
12/11/20 02:32:14Possibly detected38.9432-74.3983A strange classified upcall in P4. It is especially long and the pitch track is broken up and has an artifact. This is likely a RW but the evidence is not clear enough to be certain.
12/11/20 05:02:14Possibly detected38.9317-74.3862Possible upcalls in P3 and 7. The call in P3 is unclassified and the call in P7 looks good at first glance but has a long artifact in the middle.
12/11/20 07:02:14Possibly detected38.9141-74.3711Short but loud and classified RW upcall in P11 with possible moans in P11-12.
12/11/20 07:17:14Possibly detected38.9115-74.3691Possible RW upcalls in P4-5 and P10-11 but most calls are faint and don’t have consistent shape. Not quite enough to be certain.
12/11/20 07:32:14Possibly detected38.9091-74.3672Two very short but classified upcalls in P13-14.
12/11/20 07:47:14Detected38.9071-74.3656Three classified RW upcalls in P3-4.
12/11/20 08:02:14Possibly detected38.9039-74.3648One likely RW upcall in P1.
12/11/20 08:17:14Detected38.9006-74.3639Loud clear upcalls in P3-6 and 8.
12/11/20 09:17:14Possibly detected38.8875-74.3605Possible loud RW moans in P8-10.
12/11/20 12:32:14Possibly detected38.8602-74.3569Two possible loud RW moans in P7.
12/11/20 21:17:14Detected38.8572-74.3227Three classified RW upcalls with good shape in P1 and 8. They are isolated and out of rhythm with the HW song and do not resemble the upcalls in the HW song in P15.
12/11/20 22:17:14Possibly detected38.8611-74.3224Possible RW upcalls in P2-3, 5-6 but then an upcall bout starts in P11 that looks like it could be HW. I’m highly suspicious of the calls here. It is difficult to tell whether these are RWs or isolated HW calling.
