All,
TWRA officials (wildlife officer, etc.) are going to go investigate. This
is on private land and it'd be more appropriate (in my opinion) to have
agency personnel check this out. Hopefully the transmitter just failed!
I'll pass along info, if we recover the bird and/or transmitter.
If you happen to have info on this bird, please contact me directly:
615-788-6436.
Thanks!
