Don't give EPCOR/Capital Power too much grief based on their poor communication skills, there could be a couple of really simple explanations. And no I'm not defending them - they promised, they should have put something up explaining what's up and where, even if its as simple as "we don't know". The first could be that the birds are died early in the gam and there are no records to provide, lots of places don't publicize those kinds of deaths. The second is that the birds are fine and transmitting but whoever the transmitters "belong" to has decided to, or hasn't had time to, provide updates. There are (relatively speaking) lots of transmittered birds that we know nothing about - the birds are/have provided data that is not publicized. Keep in mind, the transmitters are not webcams, they aren't attached for public information (I know you know that Carly, but just to make it clear to everyone reading this post
) and scientists are VERY VERY difficult to pry data out of. Love them dearly, love the work they do, don't so much love their death grip on data. The first years of satellite data that went out (think 1990), we were all sworn to secrecy, no forwarding the emails outside the original group. Now its a bit different, some are full-out public 24/7 real-time tracking, some are when folks have time, some are when the scientists feel comfortable sharing and have the technical ability to post the information.
I'll have a snoop around and see who I can whisper a question to ....
