Pacific Common Eider (Somateria mollissima v-nigrum) Nest Records, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, 1991-2004

This data are a single table of nest records from a multi-year study of Pacific Common Eider (Somateria mollissima v-nigrum) biology that was conducted along the lower Kashunuk River, Kigigak Island, and the mouth of the Tutakoke River on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta from 1991-2004. The overall study used these data to quantify demographic life history parameters such as clutch size, and nesting success of common eiders.

Nesting Habitat and Nest Survival Data for American (Pluvialis dominica) and Pacific (P. fulva) Golden-Plovers on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2012−2013

This data set contains information (in two tables) on nesting habitat and nest survival for American (Pluvialis dominica) and Pacific (P. fulva) Golden-Plovers monitored at seven study sites across an elevational gradient (28−416 m) on the Seward Peninsula in northwestern Alaska during the summers of 2012 and 2013. We used principal components analysis to reduce habitat measurements into two components that represented major habitat features. These data provide the basis for a study to (1) quantify habitat features important for nest-site selection for American and Pacific Golden-Plovers on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, and (2) evaluate the importance of habitat characteristics and temporal factors potentially influencing...

Inventory Data of Lowland-Breeding Birds and Associated Vegetation Types on the Alaska Peninsula, 2004-2007

These are raw data from a stratified random survey to inventory the birds breeding in lowlands (elevation below 100m) of the Alaska Peninsula, during summers 2004-2007. Data were collected at 792 survey points (10-minute point counts) on 52 5-km x 5-km plots. This was the first systematic inventory of birds in the lowlands (elevation below 100 m) of the Alaska Peninsula to determine their breeding distributions and habitat associations in this remote region. These data form a baseline to monitor any future changes in bird distribution and abundance on the Alaska Peninsula.

Black Brant Banding and Recovery Encounter Histories, Alaska, 1990-2016

This data contains two tables of live-dead encounter histories of Black Brant geese banded 4 breeding locations in the Arctic of northern Alaska and western Canada and one sub-Arctic location, the Tutakoke River colony on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of Alaska, from 1990 to 2016.

Marine ecology near Tufted Puffin colonies across the Aleutian Archipelago and Alaska Peninsula, 2012-2014

In the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea between August 2012-2014, data were collected on sea surface temperature and salinity data, marine bird and mammal surveys, hydroacoustic backscatter data, marine environment surrounding Tufted Puffin colonies, and body condition and diets of Tufted Puffin chicks.

Seabird Diet Data Collected on Middleton Island, Gulf of Alaska

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long-term monitoring program and contain diet data from Black-legged Kittiwakes (BLKI), Rhinoceros Auklets (RHAU), and Tufted puffins (TUPU) located on Middleton Island in Prince William Sound, Gulf of Alaska. The first table consists of information on seabird diet samples including the sampling method and number of prey types identified per sample ("seabirdDiets_foodSample_middletonIsland.csv"). The second table is similar to the first table, however, the samples have been subdivided by individual prey species ("seabirdDiets_samplePrey_middletonIsland.csv"). The third table consists of information specific to sampled prey items, such as prey taxa identification...
