Capture Data from Molting Steller's Eiders (Polysticta stelleri) at Izembek and Nelson Lagoons, Alaska
March 6, 2025
These data are in one table and contain information on the location, age, sex, and measurements (mass, ninth primary, culmen, and total tarsus) of Steller's Eiders during the flightless molt period. Captures took place at Izembek and Nelson Lagoons on the north side of the Alaska Peninsula.

Timing of Steller’s Eider remigial molt has delayed over 26-year span Timing of Steller’s Eider remigial molt has delayed over 26-year span
The Steller’s Eider is a sea duck that uses specific molting areas in lagoons in southwest Alaska, and these molting populations have declined in recent decades. The annual flight feather molt is a significant stage in avian life-history. The focus of this study was to characterize the phenology of Steller’s Eider flight feather molt timing and explore if molt timing is (1) earlier, (2)...
