Date/time (local)Notes
06/01/25 09:58:22interesting noises
06/01/25 10:13:22fish noise??
06/08/25 16:13:22interesting patterned noise in even panels
06/18/25 11:43:22low freq in this and last couple time periods
06/22/25 08:13:22P9-P12 have some faint up-calls that look biological
06/22/25 08:43:22more up-calls, possible humpback?
06/22/25 09:28:22lots of rhythmic up-sweeps, seems like humpback
06/22/25 10:13:22rhythmic up-sweeps P2-P9; possible HB
06/22/25 10:28:22a few more up-sweeps, but faint; possible HB
07/02/25 22:58:22p2 looks up callish but surrounded by noise
07/03/25 20:13:22weird noise
07/04/25 05:13:22nice little up-call in P5, but quiet and solitary
07/05/25 17:28:22up-call classification in P5, quiet and poor shape
07/18/25 08:13:22pile driving
07/18/25 19:58:22smaller groups of downsweeps? pile driving?
07/18/25 20:13:22yes?
07/20/25 11:13:22mechanical downsweeps
07/24/25 12:28:22interesting "downsweeps" throughout this period. Seems more mechanical than biological
07/27/25 23:58:22p10 - possibly humpbacks?
07/28/25 09:58:22Interesting noise pattern- P1-P4
08/01/25 15:13:22now it looks like just noise
08/16/25 22:43:22fw?
08/22/25 01:13:22up-call classification in P2 is poorly shaped and quiet
09/01/25 14:13:22looking kind of fin whale but the ipis arent the same throughout...
09/01/25 15:28:22hw??? or noise?
09/02/25 00:13:22Automated detections of Bp do not follow the regular 8-16s interval spacing. Mixed with background noise.
09/02/25 03:28:22Automated Mn classification is an artifact
09/02/25 03:43:22Automated Mn classification is an artifact
09/02/25 10:28:22Automated classification of Eg is just noise - mixed with background noise at that time point
09/02/25 19:28:22Bp classifications in P4 seem to be background noise.
09/03/25 09:43:22Eg classification (P6) appears to be composed of varied amplitudes connected by artifacts. Not an Eg call.
09/03/25 20:13:22Eg classifications (P6, P9) low amplitude, mostly artifacts. Not Eg calls
09/06/25 20:13:22persistent long, possibly-mechanical sounds
09/08/25 22:13:22lots of fin classifications, but not regularly spaced
09/10/25 21:58:22looks like sei single downsweeps, doublets, and triplets
09/10/25 22:13:22a few more sei-like downsweeps
09/18/25 06:58:22downsweep p6, not classified though
09/18/25 22:58:22interesting vertical noise
09/19/25 08:13:22pile driving??
09/19/25 09:13:22more noise maybe related to all the pile driving
09/21/25 16:13:22Inconsistent, long INI's for the many Bp classiications to be true detections
09/21/25 17:13:22Eg classification (P10) low amplitude and mostly artifact, just noise
09/21/25 18:13:22Many Bp classifications. Generally a lot of noise at Bp volcalization frequency. LFDCS classifications are inconsistently spaced for determining Bp presence
09/25/25 23:13:22long tones persist through panels for several time periods since 17:00, this pt has the loudest seen
09/26/25 05:13:22weird noise patterns
09/28/25 01:13:22arcs in P14 seem like part of that unusual minutes-long sweeping noise pattern we get sometimes
09/29/25 14:28:22pt 14 - noise or fins?
10/01/25 14:13:22p4 - fins or noise?
10/05/25 08:43:22interesting lf sound in p12
10/05/25 18:28:22interesting noise
10/05/25 19:58:22low sweeps maybe drums
10/08/25 18:28:22LFDCS Eg classification (P1) contains an artifact. Not a true vocalization
10/09/25 17:13:22Inconsistent INI for Bp automated classifications
10/09/25 22:13:22INI inconsistent and slightly shorter than required to be Bp call (P8)
10/10/25 06:43:22Bp classification (P9) too short of INI to be from whale
10/10/25 13:13:22Eg classification (P10) mostly artifact creating upsweep, not sourced from whale
10/10/25 13:43:22Eg classification (P1) composed of artifact, not sourced from whale
10/10/25 18:28:22Eg classification (P10) composed of artifact, not biological source
10/10/25 20:13:22Eg automated classification (P3) not of correct shape
10/10/25 22:13:22Eg classification (P9) mostly artifact, not from a whale
10/14/25 02:13:22more up and down noise
10/14/25 11:28:22up call detected in P7, but quiet with poor shape
10/15/25 10:13:22some interesting noise in P5, but I'm not convinced it's biological
10/15/25 18:13:22up-sweeps in P11 probably noise; down-sweeps in P15 and P16 are quiet, and surrounded by noise
10/15/25 22:28:22evenly spaced downs sweeps in P4 and P5, but super quiet
10/19/25 06:58:22p12 - possible rw upcall?
10/22/25 20:13:22Noisy
10/23/25 06:58:22intriguing sound panel 15
10/23/25 08:58:2220s ipi for some fw
10/23/25 16:28:22panel 8 and 9 seem decent for hw, but then it gets messy
10/26/25 03:13:22Eg automated detection (P3) not ideal shape or amplitude - not classified
10/26/25 11:13:22Eg automated detection (P7) composed of artifact and very faint. Not classified
10/27/25 19:28:22Eg automated detection (P12) mostly artifact and low amplitude - not likely from a whale
10/28/25 03:58:22Eg automated detection (P4) not of great shape, amplitude, and contains large artifact, not detected
10/31/25 20:13:22potential up-call in P9
11/01/25 03:13:22interesting down-sweep in P2
11/01/25 12:28:222 very shallow up-sweeps in P6
11/01/25 23:13:22I think this is more of the strange noise seen in the previous period, but it could possibly be HB?
11/02/25 03:13:22P12-P15 I think this is just more of the up-and-down noise
11/02/25 08:28:22a couple up-sweeps in P4 and P5, but lots of surrounding noise
11/02/25 17:28:22might be a fin in the next period?
11/02/25 17:43:22possible fin in P2? not enough evidence
11/07/25 21:28:22P6: possible unclassified RW up call
11/07/25 22:13:22RW detected - Classified upcalls: p4, p, 6, p12, p15 and unclassified upcalls throughout PTs
11/07/25 23:13:22RW PD: classified upcalls in P4 and P8
11/08/25 15:28:22P6: FW PD
11/10/25 00:13:22Interesting noise pattern- likely not biological
11/12/25 07:13:22noisy not going to say fw
11/13/25 13:28:22Eg automated classification (P15) mostly artifact, not detected
11/13/25 15:13:22Eg automated classification (P13) mostly artifact and low amplitude, not detected
11/14/25 03:13:22Only one, faint Eg classification. Not detected
11/15/25 11:13:221 automated Eg classification (P5) with correct shape and begins with high amplitude. Possibly detected.
11/15/25 15:13:22Automated Eg classification (P9) a part of background noise. Not detected.
11/16/25 00:43:22Eg classification of low amplitude and mostly artifact (P7). Not detected
11/16/25 15:58:22possible RW call in p7, lack of surrounding noise and the weak volume will leave it not detected
11/16/25 17:13:22another weak lonely RW upcall in p6
02/21/26 17:18:28noisy!
02/21/26 21:18:28short downsweeps in P3
02/21/26 22:48:28some higher freq pitch tracks in P7 and P9, but don't look biological
02/22/26 01:18:28more of the up-and-down noise around 600Hz. doesn't look biological
02/22/26 02:33:28possible fin, P15 and P16
02/22/26 07:33:28some fin pulses, but not enough for a 3+ pulse track
02/22/26 14:18:28fin pulses loud and long
02/22/26 15:18:28Bp detected with multiple calls (P2,5,7, 8, 11-13) of consistent, 15s INI
02/22/26 16:18:28Bp detected with calls throughout tally period
02/22/26 17:18:28Bp present, consistent calls early in tally period
02/22/26 18:18:28Bp detected, consistent 15s INI calls (P11-16)
02/22/26 19:18:28Bp possibly detected - 3 calls in pattern (P9-10)
02/22/26 23:18:28Bp detected with multiple calls in consistent 15s INI throughout tally period
02/23/26 08:33:28Eg automated classification (P9) of poor shape and low amplitude. Not detected
02/24/26 02:18:28P7 looks like a sei doublet, but there's some low freq noise too
02/24/26 14:03:28interesting sweeps in P5 and P6
02/24/26 19:03:28short, but loud, upsweeps throughout. Too short to classify...
03/06/26 11:18:28p11 mid high sounds?? hw??
03/09/26 02:48:28up sweeps in P8 and P10
03/09/26 19:33:28low freq noise or repeated up-sweeps? I have been suspicious of these PTs in the past, but seeing that the Cape Charles buoy classified it as Humpback, we'll go for it
03/10/26 13:03:28more up-and-down mid freq noise
03/10/26 17:18:28nice upsweeps
03/10/26 19:33:28too flat to be biological
03/10/26 21:33:28RW classification in P12 is faint and a bit broken
03/11/26 10:18:28this looks like the "up and down" noise we see ocassionally on this platform, but P3 - P8 may also be HB song
03/15/26 00:33:28interesting broadband calls, could be a humpback but there are too many artifacts for a possible detection
03/18/26 20:03:28two faint unclassified upcalls
03/18/26 23:18:28faint upcalls??
03/22/26 16:48:28Eg automated classifications (P1, 4, 5) of poor shape and amplitude. Not detected.
03/23/26 22:18:28Eg automated classification (P1) low amplitude. Not detected.
03/24/26 03:33:28P2 has upcall shape, but faint
03/24/26 04:03:28a few possible up call shapes, but nothing convincing
03/24/26 12:33:28p11 and p12, possible RW up calls but quiet, artifacts, and surrounding noise
04/02/26 11:18:28maybe humpback ??
04/03/26 03:18:28very faint looking upcalls, but also so regular in pattern....
04/03/26 10:03:28mid range up sweeps super faint
04/04/26 00:33:28mid range sounds
04/04/26 22:33:28steep downsweeps in p2 and p3
04/04/26 23:48:28p3-5
04/07/26 06:18:28Bp automated classifications (P1-8; 14-16) with consistent 16s INI. Bp detected.
04/07/26 06:33:28Bp automated classifications (P1-5) with consistent 16s INI. Bp detected.
04/07/26 13:33:28Bp automated classifications (P14-16) with consistent 15-16s INI. Bp detected.
04/07/26 13:48:28Bp automated classifations throughout tally period but P8-9 meet reference guide requirement of 4+ classified calls of 16s INI. Bp detected.
04/07/26 14:48:28Bp automated classifications (P13-16) with consistent 16s INI. Bp detected.

04/07/26 15:18:28Bp automated classifications (P4-5) with consistent 16s INI. Bp detected.
04/07/26 22:18:28Bp automated classifications (P2-8) with 4+ consistently classified calls of 16s INI. Bp detected.
04/08/26 20:18:28P6 and P7 may be HB, but lots of artifacts in there
04/08/26 20:33:28P11 could be HB upsweeps
04/09/26 00:33:28some nice HB upsweeps!
04/09/26 02:18:28really nice HB song, and some longer fin pulses
04/09/26 04:18:28nice HB song. A few RW up-call classifications, but these seem to be part of the HB song.
04/09/26 08:18:28big upsweep in P15
04/09/26 10:18:28p7 has a sei downsweep shape, but noise right above
04/09/26 13:18:28noisy!
04/09/26 17:48:28short upsweeps in P15
04/09/26 22:18:28gorgeous!
04/09/26 23:18:28wow!
04/10/26 00:18:28could this be RW? I'm assuming it's HB pretending to be RW
04/10/26 01:18:28could this be RW? I'm assuming it's HB pretending to be RW
04/10/26 13:18:28downsweep in p11
04/11/26 00:33:28P2- Could be part of a humpback song
04/14/26 13:18:28possible HB but mixed with artifacts
04/22/26 22:18:28Many repetitive noise profiles throughout tally period suggesting Mn, but all are artifacts. Mn not detected.
04/22/26 22:33:28Repetitive sound profiles (P1-2). Possibly Mn but noise is all artifacts, not detected.
04/23/26 22:48:28up call classification in P15 has some noise right above
04/24/26 14:03:28lots of artifacts
04/24/26 16:33:28borderline fin detection P8, P9
04/24/26 19:18:28upcalls in p3 have too much surrounding noise
04/25/26 01:33:28some very short downsweeps
05/08/26 10:33:28some rhythmic little downsweeps in P2-P4, but too short to be sure its biological
05/09/26 15:33:28nice up-call shape in P2 but very quiet
05/09/26 18:03:28little down-sweep in P15
05/24/26 01:33:28very quiet up call shape in P6
06/05/26 12:18:28HW possibly detected with clusters of faint downsweeps throughout PT
06/11/26 17:18:28Interesting cluster of signals, but likely noise rather than humpbacks
06/27/26 06:33:28p3-4: could possibly be fin whales
07/04/26 00:03:28Could these be blue whale calls throughout the tally period? Calls of low frequency and some having high amplitudes.
07/04/26 09:18:28Many Bp automated classifications within tally period. Difficult to find consistency in INI given number of calls, but the unclassified calls towards end of tally period make me less confident in calling these Bp calls. Possibly detected.
07/04/26 10:33:28Blue whale calls throughout tally period?
07/04/26 22:18:28Bp automated classifications in P9 with consistent 7.5-8s INI. Accompanied by background noise. Possibly detected.
07/04/26 23:03:28Blue whale call P10?
07/05/26 05:18:28Blue whale call P2?
07/08/26 09:18:28fin spacing too close
07/08/26 10:33:28some short repetitive downsweeps in P10 and P13
07/11/26 09:03:28p5 - uneven intervals
07/12/26 16:18:28P9 - Could be fin whales, but only two are classified
