Autumn migration routes and staging areas
used by Pacific common eiders - 2003
These maps include daily locations of common eiders during autumn migration from the North Slope, Alaska until reaching wintering areas. All birds were marked at Simpson Lagoon, North Slope during July 2003. Satellite transmitters were programmed to provide data for 6 hours every 25 hours (6 on:19 off) until early November 2003. Several transmitters provided additional data into December. Individual maps – autumn 2003

Winter
sites of Pacific common eiders
marked on the North Slope, Alaska
This map includes the primary 2001-2002 winter
locations of 13 Pacific common eiders marked in July on barrier
islands off the North Slope Alaska. One transmitter failed to
provide adequate location data (known alive).

Spring
migration routes and staging areas used
by Pacific Common Eiders marked on the North Slope, AK
This map includes the primary spring (April -
June) 2002 locations of seven Pacific common eiders marked in
July 2001on barrier islands off the North Slope Alaska. Transmitters
provided locations every seven days from July 2001 to 1 April
2002. Beginning on 1 April, transmitters were programmed to provide
locations daily (6 hours on: 19 hours off) until the batteries
were expected to fail (mid-June 2002). Of the birds known to have
survived the winter, the batteries failed prematurely for two
birds (known alive, no locations) and one transmitter quit transmitting
(no signals) before spring migration began.
