19 December 2013, 14:49 : Markaw: end of the transmissions!
Markaw's transmitter has not sent any signals since the 20th November. After a month of waiting, one can only suppose that the battery has run down, as has happened with the other transmitters during the same month. Let's be positive, hoping that Markaw has not been eaten by a caiman ... there (…)
20 November 2013, 16:47 : Position 21
There have been no more signals from Markaw for a week since the one on 20th November. Was that the last position that we will get from this heron?
17 November 2013, 10:39 : Position 20
Markaw has not really moved since October, and the observers must remain patient ....
7 October 2013, 20:52 : Position 19
Markaw is still alive, as shown by his movements of a few hundred metres at a time, but he has definitely stopped his long-distance movements for the moment.
27 September 2013, 21:13 : Position 18
At the end of September, Markaw is still in the marshes.
14 August 2013, 21:47 : Position 17
Markaw seems to be staying in the Kaw marshes, even after the end of the breeding season, as opposed to the other herons which have all left French Guiana.
29 July 2013, 02:21 : Position 16
Markaw is still in the middle of the marshes, not far from where he was a week ago.
22 July 2013, 05:10 : Position 15
Markaw has moved towards the marshes.
12 July 2013, 02:04 : Position 14
Markaw is still in place in the south.
2 July 2013, 03:18 : Position 13
Markaw heads south, along the Kaw mountain.
