Perfect match to working knowledge of the species, but still need to analyse spectrograms precisely.

Pacific Black Duck WINGBEATS Strongly supported
Evidence for identification
Until we learn how to tell these conclusively, we are only accepting wingbeats where a call is also heard and unambiguously associated with the wingbeats.
Confidence statement
High confidence since our records are only those in context with a call.
Similar species / confusion risks
Many potential confusion species until we nail down how to separate wingbeats from recordings alone.
Project detections: 8 annotations; 7 nights; recorded in March, May, June, July; most recent detection 12 Jul 2026.
