08/02/24 02:04:48Possibly detected47.8624-63.9967Two classified RW upcalls in P8 & 11. The second call is of inconsistent amplitude, poorly shaped, and is not isolated. The first call, however, is mid- to high-amplitude and isolated, even though its shape and duration are barely adequate.
08/02/24 08:49:48Possibly detected47.8821-63.9692One classified RW upcall in P7. Although it is poorly shaped with artifacts and short duration, this call is mid-amplitude and isolated.
08/02/24 10:04:48Possibly detected47.8845-63.9633One classified RW upcall in P5. It is mid-amplitude, long duration, nicely shaped, and is isolated.
08/02/24 15:49:48Possibly detected47.9186-63.9598One classified RW upcall in P16. Three possible RW upcalls in P14-15 (unclassified). Two of the unclassified calls are very high-amplitude with adequate shape and duration. One of these calls has a check-mark shape typical of RWs. The classified call, however, is very short duration and its shape is modified by an artifact, even though it is mid- to high-amplitude and isolated.
08/02/24 16:49:48Possibly detected47.9229-63.9589Two classified RW upcalls in P11. There is a possible third upcall in between (unclassified) that is modified by a large artifact. The three calls are very high amplitude, with the first one being of very long duration while the second and third are relatively short. The unclassified call has good shape while the classified calls are either too steep or poorly shaped. All three calls are isolated from surrounding sounds, except for pitch tracks above them which are likely harmonics.
08/02/24 19:49:48Possibly detected47.9306-63.9584Two classified upcalls in P6 & 7 that are likely produced by RWs (classified as HW). There is a possible third upcall in P2 (unclassified). The calls are of similar mid- amplitude and mid-duration, with the one in P6 being shapely and isolated.

08/02/24 00:49:4847.8591-63.9925Possible moan in P1 and upcall in P7; likely produced by background noise.
08/02/24 02:04:4847.8624-63.9967Two classified RW upcalls in P8 & 11. The second call is of inconsistent amplitude, poorly shaped, and is not isolated. The first call, however, is mid- to high-amplitude and isolated, even though its shape and duration are barely adequate.
08/02/24 02:49:4847.8630-63.9972All four classified RW upcalls in P2-3 & P5 are part of chunks of pitch tracks likely produced by background noise.
08/02/24 05:49:4847.8686-63.9872Two classified RW upcalls in P4 & 5. They are of similar mid-amplitude, with the first call being very short duration and the second being poorly shaped and modified by an artifact. Only the first call is isolated. Considering their poor shape, short duration, and surrounding pitch tracks near the second call, I am marking Not Detected for RW.

08/02/24 10:04:4847.8845-63.9633One classified RW upcall in P5. It is mid-amplitude, long duration, nicely shaped, and is isolated.
08/02/24 13:49:4847.9139-63.9593One classified RW upcall in P3. Although it is mid-amplitude and relatively isolated, it is short duration and poorly shaped.
08/02/24 15:49:4847.9186-63.9598One classified RW upcall in P16. Three possible RW upcalls in P14-15 (unclassified).

08/02/24 19:49:4847.9306-63.9584Two classified upcalls in P6 & 7 that are likely produced by RWs (classified as HW). There is a possible third upcall in P2 (unclassified). The calls are of similar mid- amplitude and mid-duration, with the one in P6 being shapely and isolated.
08/02/24 20:49:4847.9342-63.9555One classified RW upcall in P8. Although it is mid-amplitude and isolated from surrounding sounds, this call is very short duration.
08/02/24 22:04:4847.9371-63.9534There are four upcall-like sounds in P7-8 (one classified as RW and two classified as HW). However, they are poorly shaped, modified by artifacts, in addition to this period being dominated by what is likely background noise. I suspected of HW presence as well. However, the lack of a clear pattern in the higher-frequency sounds combined to pitch tracks that are often not isolated make this period little convincing of baleen whale presence.
08/02/24 22:49:4847.9353-63.9506One classified RW upcall in P2. One upcall classified as HW in P4. Both calls are poorly shaped, modified by artifacts, and are not isolated, even though they are mid-amplitude sounds. They are likely produced by background noise.
