[KWlocate] Lone male KW southbound at Lime Kiln

[Scott Veirs]

Jeanne just called reporting a single male passing the lighthouse going 
south.  She got photos and will attempt ID, but said he looked 
familiar...  She is scanning for other whales based on our hearing other 
calls, substantially fainter, like this probable S10 caught by the computer:

I think the repeated call sounds like an S37, slightly modified with a 
bit more of a high-frequency start --

Particularly the attached version (.wav format, sorry).

For those who missed the live show before noisy ship, here is a 
recording (10Mb):

Fascinating catch, Suzy!
