Interrogation Site Metadata

WB1 - White Bird Cr Seasonal IPTDS

Status:   Active - Non-Operational
Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System  |  Organization: Nez Perce Tribe
General Operational Period: Seasonally
Start Date: 1/15/2021 12:00 AM

White Bird Creek is a tributary of the lower Salmon River, Idaho. The confluence of White Bird Creek is on the east side of the Salmon River at river kilometer 86 and about 5.8 miles in length, and is a minor spawning area for the Snake River summer steelhead within the Little Salmon River steelhead population. The White Bird Creek interrogation site was installed as a temporary and seasonal site at river kilometer 2 to estimate steelhead abundance within the White Bird Creek spawning aggregate because an interrogation site downstream of the Little Salmon River capable of providing a population estimate for the population does not exist.

The PIT Tag antennas and all other equipment were removed from the site.

5/20/2022 12:00:00 AM SiteDown

All four nodes for antennas 01, 02, 03, and 04 failed within an hour of each other.  The cause of the failure could not be determined when a maintenance check was performed on June 6.  High water prevented access to the nodes.  The system was powered down on June 7.

A general maintenance check was performed today. The external storage device was changed out so the data could be backed up and uploaded to PTAGIS. 

2/4/2022 11:00:00 AM General

The data was downloaded today. The system was operating correctly. 

2/3/2022 2:27:00 PM General

Antennas 2 and 4 were giving a high noise warning of 30%. I adjusted the alarm threshold to stop the warnings.
