As of January 2002, this transmitter is still active. However the swan has shown no movement since late November 2001. There is a possibility that the swan died while on it’s southward migration. However, we believe that it is likely that the transmitter/collar was lost. We have observed this on several of our satellite marked swans. We hope to remedy this by modifying our transmitter/collar attachment method for the swans we mark in winter 2002.
