08/15/24 07:49:48Possibly detected47.5221-63.6408One classified RW upcall in P6. It is loud, long duration, shapely, and isolated.
08/15/24 08:49:48Possibly detected47.5235-63.6449One classified upcall in P7 (classified as HW). Despite a large artifact, this call is loud and isolated from surrounding sounds.
08/15/24 09:49:48Detected47.5250-63.6501Four-six possible RW upcalls in P2 & 3 (two are classified). Among these, four calls are more convincing as actual calls: the first and third in P2, and the second and third in P3. These four calls are isolated and have similar durations. The calls in P2 are loud; one is classified while the other has a large artifact, but both are isolated and have an adequate shape. The calls in P3, though of lower quality, are mid-amplitude, and two are isolated.
08/15/24 10:49:48Possibly detected47.5264-63.6553Three possible upcalls in P12 & 13 (one is classified as HW). The call in P12 and the classified call in P13 are poorly shaped, with large artifacts and a steep upsweep. Nonetheless, these calls are mid-amplitude, mid-duration, and isolated. The unclassified call in P13 is loud, long, more shapely, and isolated. Considering the lack of evidence (at least 2-3 loud, shapely calls classified as RW), I am marking this period as Possibly Detected.

08/15/24 04:49:4847.5245-63.6324Only one classified RW upcall is visible in P3, but it belongs to multiple pitch tracks that are likely produced by glider self-noise.
08/15/24 05:49:4847.5234-63.6366Possible high-frequency downsweep in P7?

08/15/24 13:49:4847.5341-63.6650One classified RW upcall in P9; it is short, faint, and has a somewhat flat shape.
08/15/24 16:49:4847.5442-63.6773One classified RW upcall in P4. Although it is high-amplitude, this call is short, steep, and is not completely isolated. One possible high upcall in P2. This period is filled with noise and detections are unlikely to be actual calls.
