The datafile contains the encounter histories of individually marked adult great knots (Calidris tenuirostris) with or without a satellite transmitters (denoted by the column 'tag') that were resighted at their primary non-breeding area Roebuck Bay between 2015-2018. All birds were caught in Roebuck Bay in September and October 2014-2016 using cannon-netting, individually marked with 4 coloured bands and a flag. The resightings were pooled into boreal winter years, where July 2015–June 2016 is referred to as winter year 2015. Within each year, the individual can either be seen (1) or not seen (0).
