This data package includes four tables of data from Pacific Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) wintering along the Baja California Peninsula and Sonoran coasts of Mexico. The data include: (1) body mass and morphological measurements from sport hunter harvested brant, and (2) census counts of brant in Bahia de San Quintin, (3) counts for flock age ratio determination, and (4) behavior.

This data package includes 2 child items with data from Pacific Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) during winter and migration periods. Child Item 1: "Body mass, Morphological Measurements, Flock Counts, and Age-Ratios from Black Brant Overwintering in Three Lagoons Along the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico". The data include: (1) body mass and morphological measurements from sport hunter harvested brant, and (2) census counts of brant in Bahia de San Quintin, (3) counts for flock age ratio determination, and (4) behavior. Child Item 2: "Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) Radio Detection and Migration Timing Alaska to Mexico". Data from brant tagged with VHF radio transmitters in July 1999 on the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska and detected in the following two years during their annual migration. Data include: 1) one table with attributes of the tagged brant, 2) one table with estimated dates of migration events, and 3) seven tables of detection data from radio tracking scans at coastal sites between Alaska and Mexico.

These data are in two tables relating to fall age ratios (number of juvenile birds : total birds aged) of Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) staging in Izembek Lagoon, Alaska, since 1963. The first table is observation data for the age classes of Black Brant during surveys, and associated survey characteristics. The second table contains model-based estimates of age ratios by year along with Standard Error (SE), and 95% Bayesian credible intervals around estimates.

This data package contains one table with nest initiation and end dates and clutch sizes from Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) at two breeding colonies in Alaska. Data include nesting period determined by either nest visits or light-level data recorded by geolocators attached tarsal bands.

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Black Brant, a goose species that breeds in coastal areas of Alaska, northwestern Canada, and northeastern Russia and winters along coastal areas of North America from western Alaska to Mexico. Child Item 1: "Light-Level Geolocator Tracking Data for Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans)" -- Tracking data collected from light-level geolocator attached Black Brant at breeding areas in Alaska, 2003-2007. Child Item 2: "VHF Triangulation Tracking Data for Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) in Waters Adjacent to Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska" -- Tracking data collected from triangulation tracking of VHF transmitters at Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, during fall 1987-1990.

This data package presents legacy data collected during 1985-1987 at Izembek Lagoon on the western end of the Alaska Peninsula. The data were collected in support of a multi-year study focused on aircraft disturbance of waterfowl, particularly Black Brant, Emperor Geese, and Cackling Geese. The study was conducted at Izembek Lagoon and included several study sites within the lagoon: Halfway Point, Grant Point, Outer Marker, Quarter Point, Applegate Cove, Norma Bay, Round Island, and Banding Island. The primary objectives were to 1) define the time periods that are most important for geese, 2) determine if certian portions of Izembek Lagoon are more important than other areas, 3) evaluate factors that influence distribution of geese within Izembek Lagoon, and 4) compare use by geese of Izembek Lagoon with use of other adjacent lagoons to determine relative importance. The raw data are provided in a .CSV format, however, PDF digital scans of original field data sheets, tables, figures, and maps are also available upon request.
