Summary
This dataset contains carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values, and C:N ratios, from eggshell tissue samples of Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea), Common terns (S. hirundo), and Roseate terns (S. dougalii) nesting on seven islands located along the coast of Maine in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

To understand the pre-breeding foraging ecology of Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea), Common terns (S. hirundo), and Roseate terns (S. dougallii) in the Gulf of Maine by analyzing stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes in eggshell tissues.
