Belief that most seabirds return to breed where they had been reared as chicks and exhibit high levels of philopatry and, by implication, have low levels of gene flow, is untenable. In the past, estimates of philopatry have been exaggerated beca[...]

Breeding King Rails (Rallus elegans) have become more reliant on coastal marshes, but these are prone to variation in water level influenced by estuarine effluent and storm surge. Nest-building behavior in King Rails was studied in a natural coa[...]

Collisions with power lines are a widely documented cause of avian mortality. Estimating total mortalities from counts of carcasses is usually accomplished by quantifying biasing factors, but neither crippling nor nocturnal biases are well under[...]
