[KWlocate] Chirping sounds at Port Townsend

[Chrissy McLean]

Hi there--
 
I think this might actually be the river otter family that uses our pier
to forage.  They make a very peculiar "chirp-y" sound that I have heard
many times from the surface and it seems likely it would be picked up on
the hydrophones.  I found a similar sounding call here

Let me know what you think!

Chirping sounds at Port Townsend. Birds or dolphins?
 
Also, is the Seattle Aquarium hydrophone out of service? I've been
unable to connect for a couple of days.
