Movements of Black Brant Tagged While Molting in the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska
May 14, 2025
This data release contains five tables of information related to the movement patterns of Black Brant equipped with high-frequency GPS tags: 1) brant banding records, 2) helicopter flight routes for experimental disturbance trials, 3) Brant movement data from Milsar tags deployed in 2023, 4) Brant movement data from Milsar tags deployed in 2024, and 5) Brant movement data from Ornitela tags deployed in 2021, 2023, and 2024. Birds were captured and tracking devices deployed during the Brant's period of flightless molt at lakes in the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPR-A), near Point Lonely, northwest of Teshekpuk Lake.

Renewable energy facilities are a key part of mitigating climate change, but can pose threats to wild birds and bats, most often through collisions with infrastructure. Understanding collision risk and the factors affecting it can help minimize impacts on wild populations. For wind turbines, flight altitude is a major factor influencing collision risk, and altitude-selection analyses can...
