--- Quote from: des on July 15, 2012, 22:14 ---Thanks TPC. As far as the time for the project, I was thinking more of how long the researcher would keep putting transmitters on the fledglings to have the sufficient(?) number needed that have transmitters that remain functioning for a year.
Must be very frustrating when they don't transmit for long enough.
So much of a puzzle, then planning, permissions, then implementing...

Sorry, my fault Des. The deployment of transmitters is only for a limited time is my understanding. The transmitters themselves will keep broadcasting as long as they are a) on the bird, b) undamaged and c) their batteries keep getting recharged by the solar panel. Could technically be for 10 hours or 10 years I guess. Transmitter failure is not uncommon. There is a tundra female with a transmitter who has been transmitting year-round from Chile to Baffin Island (often through Manitoba) and back again. This is her fourth year transmitting. Right now she is at her usual nesting location and she should be there for another month and a half before starting her southward journey.

I was just wondering if there is still a delay on the camera image? ???

Wow, you have SO many wonderful photos this year... what are you going to do with all of them?
