Tracking Data for Pelagic Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus)
August 21, 2020
This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Pelagic Cormorants, a seabird species that breeds throughout the northern Pacific Ocean and spends the winter in East Asia and throughout coastal portions of western North America.
Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Pelagic Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters.
Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Pelagic Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.

Factors affecting winter survival may be key determinants of status and population trends of seabirds, but connections between breeding sites and wintering areas of most populations are poorly known. Pelagic Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus; N= 6) surgically implanted with satellite transmitters migrated from a breeding colony on Middleton Island, northern Gulf of Alaska, to wintering...
