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.

Data are published in: Halpin, L.R., Pollet, I.L., Lee, C., Morgan, K.H. and Carter, H.R., 2018. Year‐round movements of sympatric Fork‐tailed (Oceanodroma furcata) and Leach's (O. leucorhoa) storm‐petrels. Journal of Field Ornithology. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jofo.12255
