Version 1.0 notes:
Two tables of deployment attributes and Argos satellite location data from 12 PTT satellite transmitters implanted in Pacific Loons. Location data were filtered with the Douglas-Argos Filter (DAF; see description in metadata for details). Data in this version are restricted to "plausible" locations of tagged Pacific loons on their summer range in northern Alaska, between June and October.

Future planned version:
Will expand data to include records from additional birds, provided in both unfiltered (Raw) and filtered (Processed) form and bring data up to USGS Alaska Science Center Wildlife Tracking Data Collection data standards, documentation standards and publication standards.
