Notes
These tracking data were collected by Sean Gee for his Master's thesis completed at San José State University. They consist of GPS tracking data at 2 minute intervals over 2019 & 2020 breeding seasons at the Farallon Islands in California. They are part of a manuscript entitled "Intra- and Interannual Variation in the Foraging Behavior of Common Murres (Uria aalge) in the Central California Current" that is in review. Some of these birds also carried time depth recorders.
