Report on baseline population and reproductive data collected in 2009. In 2009, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office), Channel Islands National Park, and Carter Biological Consulting were funded by the MontroseTrustee Council to continue implementation of restoration actions and continue gathering baseline population and reproductive data on Ashy Storm-Petrels (Oceanodroma homochroa) at Santa Cruz Island, California. At four sea caves and Orizaba Rock, a total of 148 nests (including natural crevices and artificial sites) were found and monitored in 2009 which had a combined reproductive success (i.e., proportion of egg laying sites that fledged chicks, including five sites with replacement eggs laid) of 69%, relatively high compared to baseline data.
