08/23/24 06:49:48Detected47.6654-63.5429Five classified RW upcalls in P4-5 and P10-11. Seven possible upcalls in P2, P5, and P10-13 that are unclassified. Four of the classified calls are loud, with at least one of them being well isolated (P4). Unclassified calls in P11-12 are also isolated. Most calls are mid-duration. Three calls in P4 and P11 (two classified) are nicely shaped.
08/23/24 08:04:48Possibly detected47.6654-63.5364Three classified RW upcalls in P5-7. Possible upcalls in P7-8 that are very steep (one is classified as HW). The classified calls in P5-6 are mid- to high- amplitude, isolated, and short duration. The call in P6 has adequate shape. The call in P5 is modified by artifacts, and the call in P7 is low-amplitude and poorly shaped. Considering that the detection in P6 is the only convincing call in this period, I am marking Possibly Detected.
08/23/24 08:49:48Possibly detected47.6639-63.5247One classified RW upcall in P6 that is loud, long duration, and isolated. Possibly a second upcall in P6 that is mid-amplitude and unclassified. Third upcall in P7 (classified as SW) that is too steep and is not isolated.

08/23/24 12:49:4847.6412-63.4899One classified RW upcall in P6 that is not isolated and is likely produced by background noise. Possible upcall in P7 (classified as HW) that is steep, modified by artifacts, and is not completely isolated.

08/23/24 16:49:4847.6416-63.4763Two possible RW upcalls in P9-10 that are unclassified. These calls are mid- amplitude, short duration, isolated, and the first one is shapely.
