Notes: What's This?
50 guam rails were released at 3rd Duge, Rota Island. 25 had transmitters. 7 of these died from cat predation, 6 starved, 1 got tangled in wire, 4 were MIA, 3 dropped their transmitters, 2 were home, and 2 died from unknown causes. There is a persistant/expanding population at/near release site through 2008, without reinforcement or predator control. Since february 2004, "rails can make it on their own in this predator rich enviornment. (Wenninger 2009)." Reproduction was consistently documented. Reinforcement was conducted. SURVIVAL 60 DAYS POST RELEASE: 20% of guam rails with transmitters in this release event.
