Resource Abstract:
- description: The specific monitoring goals in 2009 were to estimate productivity and/or population parameters for seven indicator
species representing four major feeding guilds: 1) diving fish-feeders (red-faced cormorants [Phalacrocorax urile] and common
and thick-billed murres [Uria aalge and U. lomvia], 2) surface fish-feeders (black-legged and red-legged kittiwakes [Rissa
tridactyla and R. brevirostris], 3) diving plankton feeders (least auklets [Aethia pusilla]), and 4) surface plankton-feeders
(northern fulmars [Fulmarus glacialis]). Additional monitoring goals include the description of breeding chronology, food
habits, chick growth, and adult survival for one or more of the above species. Detailed results of the 2009 monitoring program
are contained in these appendices and archived at the AMNWR headquarters in Homer, Alaska. Summary data will also be included
in the annual Alaska seabird monitoring summary report. Due to occasional reanalysis of some data, correction of typographical
errors, and efforts to standardize presentation across sites, some values used in this report have changed from previous versions.
The values presented here are considered the cleanest data set available at the time this report was issued and should supersede
previous reports. In addition, 2009 marked the second of three years of field work for the seabird colony-based component
of the Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BSIERP), a collaborative project examining the response of seabirds
breeding on the Pribilof Islands to potential changes in food availability due to climate change. This work is summarized
in separate reports to the North Pacific Research Board but is closely tied to data collected by the refuge annual monitoring
program.; abstract: The specific monitoring goals in 2009 were to estimate productivity and/or population parameters for seven
