Breeding Biology, Behavior, and Morphology of Emperor Geese and Other Waterfowl near Kokechik Bay, Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska during 1982-1988

This data package presents legacy data on Emperor Goose, Cackling Goose, Black Brant, and Greater White-fronted Goose, breeding biology, behavior, and morphology collected at study sites near Kokechik Bay on the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge (previously Clarence Rhodes National Wildlife Refuge), Alaska during the summers of 1982 through 1988. These data were collected to provide a basis for the evaluation of long-term changes in Emperor Goose and other waterfowl biology on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska.

Cordilleran Flycatcher banding, nestling, and fledgling data from southwestern Colorado, 2009-2018

These tabular data were compiled to assess full annual cycle breeding of the Empidonax occidentalis (Cordilleran Flycatcher). Objectives of our study was to assess facets of the full annual cycle of the Cordilleran Flycatcher. These data represent over nine field seasons of work on the Dolores River in southwestern Colorado with field work conducted from 2009-2018. These data were collected from 2008-2017 along the Dolores River in southwestern Colorado and were collected by U.S. Geological Survey and University of Arizona employees, many graduate and post-doctoral students. Data were a combination of field observations and video recorded nesting behavior. There was also a permanent weather station at the principal...
