www.absc.usgs.gov — The North Pacific Pelagic Seabird Database is an ongoing project between the USGS and Fish and Wildlife Service that addresses data on the pelagic distribution and abundance of seabirds. This project has collected data from researchers in Canada, Russia, and the U.S. (1972-2003). This information is critical for understanding the basic ecology of More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — Mercury is a contaminant of significant concern in waterbirds because it can accumulate to high concentrations in their tissues and cause deleterious effects such as impaired reproduction. Numerous studies and monitoring programs have evaluated concentrations of mercury in waterbird tissues as an index of risk to exposure. However, no single More...

pubs.er.usgs.gov — This report presents the results of the 2006 International Census of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus). Two sets of tabular data are reported: one for distribution and abundance of wintering Piping Plovers, the other for distribution and abundance of breeding Piping Plovers. The winter census resulted in the observation of 3,884 Piping Plovers More...

alaska.usgs.gov — It is estimated that 100,000-150,000 Bar-tailed Godwits breed in Alaska. Under the US Shorebird Conservation Plan, they are a species of High Concern mainly due to their small population size, threats to their non-breeding grounds (especially at migratory stopover sites in Asia), and their relatively restricted breeding distribution within the More...

alaska.usgs.gov — This resource is a life history profile of the Bristle-thighed Curlew (Numenius tahitiensis). The Bristle-thighed Curlew (Numenius tahitiensis) breeds only in North America. Its adult population numbers about 7,000 individuals, making it the rarest of the New World curlews and godwits. It is similar in appearance to the Whimbrel (N. phaeopus). More...

www.umesc.usgs.gov — Little is known about the movements of common loons (Gavia immer) during migrations and on wintering ranges in coastal waters. This information is needed to formulate effective regional and national conservation strategies. UMESC has collaborated with regional partners in the use of satellite telemetry to study the movements of common loons More...
