Tagged Animal Frequencies

Hey, does anyone know what frequencies all those radio tagged animal transmitters operate on? Just curious. I saw on a Discover program where they use a yagi that looks like a good size for 200 - 300 MHz range.

For some initial information and a discussion of animal tracking
in general (and an opportunity to participate), check out the
Burrowing Owl tracking project on the Homing In web site (at
www.HomingIn.com.)

In this case, most of the signals are in the 173 MHz range, but
biologists and animal trackers use a number of different frequencies.

To WB6BYU:
Thanks for the info Dale.  I should have known YOU would have some info on this. 173 MHz, huh? Sounds about right. I enjoy reading your many knowledgable posts on eham.  Keep up the good work.
