This is a major report describing the movements, nesting, and response to anthropogenic disturbance of marbled murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) in Redwood National and State Parks. It includes four chapters concerning: evaluation of human-caused disturbance on the breeding success of Marbled Murrelets in RNSP; breeding biology of Marbled Murrelets nesting in RNSP; at-sea distribution and movements of Marbled Murrelets in Northern California; and temporal patterns of Marbled Murrelets flying into inland forest sites in RNSP. The appendices are entitled: "Potential effects of anesthesia on the post-capture movements an reproductive performance of Marbled Murrelets; Nest-site fidelity in Marbled Murrelets nesting in Northern California; Extra-pair visitations to a Marbled Murrelet nest in Northern California; Video observations of corvids at a Marbled Murrelet nest: implications for estimates of nest success and corvid management; and Summary of Marbled Murrelet mortalities documented in 2001-2003 and necropsies."
