I received the following reply from Joe Evenson:

Hello Vincent-

I did some digging and found the source of the VHF collared cackler you
imaged. Please see then thread below.

All the best,

-Joe

Hi Joe,

Yes, that looks like one of my radioed birds from the first year (2007/08).
I'm always surprised to still find them around. I wouldn't doubt that it
was shot at (not trying to be cynical!!) but they still get harvested
periodically. One was most recently harvested up in AK.


Best,

Anne
