Monitoring Kittlitz’s and marbled murrelets in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve: 2012 annual report
Hoekman ST, Sergeant CJ, Johnson WF. 2013. Monitoring Kittlitz’s and marbled murrelets in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve: 2012 annual report. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/SEAN/NRTR—2013/810. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
Please refer to the synthesis and program review report for monitoring of Kittlitz's murrelets in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve which contains important findings that may affect the interpretation of abundance estimates (Hoekman, S. T. 2019. Kittlitz’s murrelet monitoring in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve 2010–2018: Synthesis and program review. Natural Resource Report NPS/SEAN/NRR—2019/1957. National Park Service, Fort Collins, Colorado, https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2265288). The report summarizes the results of murrelet monitoring from 2010-2018, assesses monitoring performance and capacity to meet protocol objectives, and provides recommendations for potential enhancements to the monitoring protocol. Hoekman (2019) identifies misidentification and partial identification of murrelets which can bias abundance estimation and spatially-explicit density estimates, particularly for rare species, such as Kittlitz’s murrelets.
