Update notes

September 12, 2001 - Goose 5 and goose 6 are no longer transmitting signals due to battery failure. The geese may still be alive. We are no longer tracking geese 1-14.

June 19, 2001 - Goose 9 and goose 10 are no longer transmitting signals due to battery failure. The geese may still be alive.

November 15, 2000 - Goose 1 and goose 3 are showing no indications of movement. Either the geese or the batteries on their transmitters have expired.

Goose 2 died July, 2000 in Quebec.

October 13, 2000 - Check out our interim study results for the geese that were tagged in 1999.

September 30, 2000 - Goose 13 died June 28, 2000 for unknown reasons. Goose 7 died in July 25, 2000 for unknown reasons.

June 15, 2000 - Goose 8 died in April 2000 for unknown reasons.

May 15, 2000 - Goose 8 is no longer providing data. We are investigating to see if the transmitter is faulty or if the goose is still alive

March 15, 2000 - This is the last update for the winter migration. Starting March 31 we will be providing a new overview map showing the northward spring migration.

February 29, 2000 - Goose 11 (Nova Scotia) and goose 14 (Long Island, N.Y.) died in January for unknown reasons.

January 14, 2000 - Two more geese (goose 13 and goose 14) have been added to this Web site.

December 15, 1999 - Four of the marked geese are no longer providing data. Two radios are still sending signals from Greenland where the birds cannot survive in the winter. One of those birds (goose 4) was being tracked on this Web site. Evidently, they have expired for some reason. The signals will likely continue until the batteries wear down. The third bird (goose 12) was shot by a hunter near Halifax, Nova Scotia. The radio has been recovered and will be refurbished for use again next year. The fourth was shot on Prince Edward Island. We have yet to obtain further information on this bird.
