Kittlitz’s Murrelet is a broadly-distributed, but uncommon seabird endemic to coastal Alaska and eastern Russia. We studied nesting activity of Kittlitz’s Murrelets in Cape Krusenstern National Monument, summer 2014. We found and monitored three active Kittlitz’s Murrelet nests, all of which were located in alpine alkaline barren habitat. Overall mean nest density was 0.80 nests per km2 (SE=0.52) and apparent nesting success was zero; all nests failed during the egg stage.
