10:37-10:53 this a.m., Bigg's #orcas called on the Orcasound Lab hydrophone. Thanks to AIS/radar vessel tracks & Pete Ancich sharing IDs, we know these sounds came from ~10 southbound orcas: the T36A & T65B matrilines.

10:40 Bigg's KW calls on the Orcasound Lab hydrophone! Probably two different groups, based on relative amplitudes and whale watch boats that are already southbound past the site... based on the M2 radar system.

Bigg's Orca/Killer Whale Nick Names
Great progress! Is this Google sheet the best place to look up which common name goes with which alphanumeric ID?
docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
Or is another resource like finwave.io kept (more?) up-to-date?

Do you agree these are Bigg's calls coming through some vessel noise?

Bigg's KW calls, whistles, and echolocation clicks detected around 4 a.m. this morning (3/25 Tues). They fooled the OrcaHello AI into thinking it was hearing SRKWs twice. No human listeners reported them.

Binaural = spaced underwater so your left ear is listening to the south & your right ear to the north.
Which way does it sound like they are moving!?
