Data Download [144KB] | AK Science Portal | Project Site | Date Range: 1991 - 2004

This dataset contains nest visit, capture, measurement, and resight data from Spectacled Eiders (Somateria fischeri) near the Kashunuk River and on Kigigak Island on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska since 1991.

Waterfowl lead exposure data (1993-1999) were previously available in version 1.0 of this data release. All USGS Alaska Science Center waterfowl lead exposure data are now consolidated in a separate USGS data release available at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7B27SDZ
