I can't speak about the specifics until it's published but it will be out soon. Skip told me that he wants to get this thing published before the public hearing is over so that we don't take a lot of heat and get accused of some kind of conspiracy (as we already have been, lol). There will be details on every one of our telemetered snakes and any other snakes found and reported to us between the cold front and approx. Feb 4. I'm not sure if the snakes Tom reported (in another thread) will make it into the paper or not but I've passed the info along to Skip.



About the most I can say is that there has been a good deal of mortality (as has been reported elsewhere). The details about the questions you asked will all be in the paper and supporting documents online ASAP. We want this to be a careful peer-reviewed effort given the amount of criticism the USGS report received for not being peer-reviewed.



I hope everyone understands the delay and knows we're not trying to hide anything to get the legislation passed. I don't even want the legislation to pass.



Mike
