Notes
Fork-tailed Storm-petrels (N = 6) tracked year round (N =2) in 2016-2017 and in the 2016 breeding season (N=5) using Geolocators (Intigeo-P65A11-7-sea, Migrate Technology Ltd.) from the Gillam Islands, NW Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Positions estimated using the FLightR solar geolocation algorithm (Rakhimberdiev et al. 2015) and include both pre- and post-deployment stationary calibration data.
