Title: Seabird Telemetry (B63)

Description:

Abstract:

We will compare seabird foraging location and trip duration for Black-legged Kittiwakes and Thick-billed Murres nesting on two geographically associated islands in the Pribilof group, St. Paul and St. George. The maximum edge of the winter ice on the Bering Sea shelf is generally nearer to St. Paul than to St. George. St. George is nearer the productive edge of the Bering Sea shelf. To the extent that the influence of ice is greater in the vicinity of St. Paul, seabirds nesting on that island might be differentially affected by the loss of that influence if future warming reduces the incidence of ice in the area. This study will allow us to confirm where birds from each island forage, and to look at foraging location and trip duration variability among years of differing sea ice extent. This study will work closely with the seabird colony study (O4.37) to determine the effects of foraging behavior on diets, reproductive success and adult survival.
