10/16/15 09:58:31Detected42.8905-65.3940Sei: 2 loud doublets, 1 with a single classified downsweep. Enough for detected.
10/16/15 10:58:31Possibly detected42.9019-65.4314Sei: singlets throughout but none are classified (or are classified humpback). No other evidence of humpback. There are enough calls (~7) to warrant a possible, but some classification is necessary for detected.
10/16/15 11:58:31Detected42.9055-65.4411Sei: many, many calls. Great example of sei calling. Fin: p10-12 obvious calling pattern, but pulses seem longer duration than usual. Only broken pitch tracks are classified Fin. Pattern is consistent and enough classified calls for me to be confident with detected. Check spectrogram
10/16/15 13:58:31Detected42.9249-65.4893Fin and Sei calling throughout.
10/16/15 23:58:31Detected42.9440-65.5243Sei: nice doublet with both classified, and another downsweep classified humpback call type 17.

10/16/15 01:58:31Detected42.8769-65.3564Fin: p1-2, faint but consistent calling
10/16/15 04:51:00Possibly detected42.8801-65.3447Fin: p10-11, 4 fin calls in pattern amid noise, 3 classified. Borderline, not quite convincing enough for detected.

10/16/15 13:13:31Detected42.9223-65.4825Fin: short pitch track, but 5 loud calls in pattern with 2 classified. Borderline but confident enough for detected (especially if considering 2+ calls in previous, greyed period).

10/16/15 15:58:31Possibly detected42.9359-65.5032Fin: many classified calls but the longest pattern is only made up of 3 classified calls in p4-5. Only enough for possible. >8 possible LF downsweeps but none are classified sei. Shapes are not great for sei. No other evidence of humpback (i.e. no HF tonals). Definitely something biological here but unsure of which species. Check spectrogram.
10/16/15 17:13:31Detected42.9341-65.4793Fin: clear calling Sei: several downsweeps within fin calling. Shapes aren't great and none are classified. No evidence of humpback, but still not confident enough for possible. Check spectrogram. This is one of many recent examples of an apparent association between fin and (what I presume is) sei calling that was not present earlier in the record.
