Greater White-fronted Goose (Anser albifrons) Nest Characteristics and Nesting Behavior Classifications from Time-lapse Photographs; Point Lonely, Alaska, 2013-2014
August 18, 2017
This data release contains three tables of information on behavior and productivity of greater white-fronted geese nesting near Point Lonely, Alaska, 2013-2014: 1) transcriptions of nest photographs obtained by time-lapse photography at 1-minute intervals in 2013, 2) transcriptions of nest photographs obtained by time-lapse photography at 1-minute intervals in 2014, and 3) characteristics of nests monitored with cameras and via periodic nest visits during 2013-2014. Data were collected as part of the USGS Changing Arctic Ecosystems Initiative to understand the effects of industrial and researcher disturbance on Arctic-nesting geese. Images are available upon request be contacting gs-ak_asc_datamanagers@usgs.gov.

Effects of industrial and investigator disturbance on Arctic-nesting geese
Oil and gas development on the Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) of Alaska, USA may have effects on Arctic-nesting birds. To estimate effects of industrial activity and investigator disturbance on avian productivity, we monitored nests of greater white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) with digital cameras and periodic nest visits during 2013–2014 at 2 sites on the ACP. A disturbed site was...
