Light-Level Geolocator Tracking Data for Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans)
This data package contains all location data collected by light-level geolocators attached to 68 Black Brant at breeding areas in Alaska. The data include: a deployment attributes file with details of each brant at the time of capture, the raw light-level data in ASCII files as downloaded and decompressed, and twice-daily estimated locations.
