This data set is based on a small radio telemetry project on rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in Lierne municipality, central Norway. In total, 85 rock ptarmigans were captured and radio-collared. After release, the birds were re-located with variable geographical precision (noted in the data). When mortality were detected, cause of death was as far as possible recorded. In the published data, cause of death is attributed to one of two causes (hunting OR other causes), and this information is available in the field "dynamicProperties" together with information about the event (capture OR radiotelemetry/recature). In some cases more detailed information about the event and state is available in the raw data. ...
