The vocal behavior of ziphiid whales is very poorly known. Free-swimming northern bottlenose whales, Hyperoodon ampullatus, have been recorded producing 3-16 kHz whistles and chirps (Winn et al. 1970; linear equipment frequency response 500 Hz-14 kHz) and 20-30 kHz ultrasonic clicks (Fauchner and Whitehead, unpublished data; equipment response to 35 kHz). A free-swimming mesoplodont beaked whale (probably Mesoplodon hertori) produced ultrasonic clicks (Ljungblad, unpublished data; equipment frequency response to 32 kHz). Sounds have been recorded from a stranded Blainville's beaked whale, Mesoplodon densirostris (Caldwell and Caldwell 1971; equipment frequency response 40 Hz-20 kHz) and a post-stranding, captive Hubb's beaked whale, Mesoplodon carlhubbsi (Lynn and Reiss 1992; equipment frequency response 70 Hz-40 kHz). The latter two species produced low-frequency pulses (mostly< 2 kHz). The Hubb's beaked whale also produced broadband clicks extending beyond the limit of the recording gear (> 40 kHz) and a few weak whistles (< 10.7 kHz). During cetacean survey cruises conducted by the National Marine Fisheries Service off the coasts of Oregon, USA, and Baja California, Mexico, we recently made what we believe to be the first recordings of Baird's beaked whales (Berardius bairdii).
