Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/26/24 00:49:48Detected47.7726-63.2891Four classified RW upcalls in P3, P4, P5, and P7. Possible moans in P1-2; they are the same amplitude as other calls in this period. Possible upcalls in P4 and P12 that are unclassified. Calls are loud possibly with harmonics. Only the call in P12 (unclassified) is completely isolated. The three calls in P3-4 are shapely and long, of which two are classified.
08/26/24 01:49:48Detected47.7769-63.2932Six classified RW upcalls in P7 and P14-15. Possible RW upcalls in P7-9 and P14 that are unclassified. Most calls are loud and mid- to long-duration. Four of the calls are isolated (P14-15), three of which are classified. Some of the calls in P7-9 are shapely.
08/26/24 02:49:48Possibly detected47.7812-63.2973One classified RW upcall in P8; it is loud, isolated by its amplitude, with good shape and duration.
08/26/24 03:44:21Possibly detected47.7855-63.3014Two classified RW upcalls in P3 and P9. Possibly a third upcall in P11 (unclassified). The call in P3 is too short. The classified call in P9 is also short, but it is loud, isolated, and has a good shape. The unclassified call in P11 is also loud, but it is poorly shaped with artifacts.
08/26/24 04:04:48Possibly detected47.7857-63.3015One classified RW upcall in P2. Possible upcalls in P3-5 and P7. Possible moans in P6 and P8. All calls are loud, possibly with harmonics. However, only one is classified. Because their shapes and isolation are not ideal, I am marking this period as Possibly Detected.
08/26/24 04:49:48Possibly detected47.7895-63.3048Two classified RW upcalls in P4 and P6. Possible moans in P3-6; however, they are not shapely and are surrounded by other sounds (harmonics and/or background noise). All calls are loud. The classified call in P6 is more convincing, even though it is not isolated.
08/26/24 05:49:48Detected47.7970-63.3123Five classified RW upcalls in P6-9 with possibly four additional upcalls that are not classified. All calls are very loud and have pitch tracks above them, which are likely harmonics. Calls have good durations, with five of them being nicely shaped upcalls in addition to two check-mark shaped calls.
08/26/24 06:49:48Possibly detected47.8046-63.3199Thirteen classified RW upcalls in addition to unclassified upcalls between P6-11. Most calls are high amplitude, isolated, mid- to long-duration, and at least five of them are shapely. *ERRATUM: Upcall bouts like this can indicate either RW or HW presence. I am changing this period from RW Detected to Possibly Detected for both species.
08/26/24 07:41:03Possibly detected47.8118-63.3271One classified RW upcall in P5; it is loud, isolated, with good shape and duration. Possible upcalls in P4-5 (one is classified as HW).
08/26/24 09:49:48Possibly detected47.8174-63.3361One classified RW upcall in P5. There is an upcall bout in P5-6 (one call is classified as HW); some are higher-frequency, longer, and steeper than what is usually expected for RW upcalls. The higher-frequency sounds in P8-9 could also be evidence of HW presence. I am marking Possibly Detected for both species.
08/26/24 10:49:48Possibly detected47.8203-63.3428Upcall bouts like this can indicate either RW or HW presence.
08/26/24 12:04:48Possibly detected47.8232-63.3491Upcall bouts like the one in P6 can indicate either RW or HW presence.
08/26/24 12:49:48Possibly detected47.8251-63.3532Two classified RW upcalls in P10-11. Possible upcalls in P9 and P11 (unclassified). The classified calls are similar in amplitude, duration, and shape. However, the second call is preceded by background noise. The similarity between calls, their amplitude modulation, and the presence of background noise throughout this period make these calls less convincing. In a different context, two good calls like these could be a Detected period, but in this case I am marking Possibly Detected.
08/26/24 13:49:48Possibly detected47.8274-63.3627Upcall bouts like this can indicate either RW or HW presence.
08/26/24 16:49:48Possibly detected47.8353-63.3861Five possible RW upcalls in P1-2 and P9-10 (unclassified). The call in P9 has a check-mark shape.
08/26/24 18:49:48Possibly detected47.8418-63.4127Upcall bouts like this can indicate either RW or HW presence. Higher-frequency sounds throughout the period, which are presumably HW, in addition to an isolated RW classification in P11 further evidence that both species might be present.
08/26/24 19:40:14Possibly detected47.8449-63.4253Possible moan and four RW upcalls in P2-3 (unclassified).
08/26/24 20:04:48Possibly detected47.8446-63.4253Five possible RW upcalls (and maybe one moan?) in P7-8 (unclassified).
08/26/24 20:19:48Possibly detected47.8437-63.4256One classified RW upcall in P1 with possibly three additional upcalls in P3-4 that are unclassified. Possible moans in P2? Calls are mid-amplitude and isolated, but they are too short.
08/26/24 20:49:48Detected47.8443-63.4296Three classified RW upcalls in P4-6. The calls are mid- to high-amplitude, similar in shape and duration, and two of them are isolated. Possible unclassified upcalls in P3 and P5.
