Adams et al. (2025)

Josh Adams, Laney White, Gavin Haight, Emma Kelsey, and Jackie Chistolini (USGS Western Ecological Research Center; USGS WERC) assessed the nesting density of Leach’s Storm-Petrel (Hydrobates leucorhous) and presence of other burrowing seabirds on 11 islands in the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex with support from Refuge staff. In addition to on-the-ground burrow counts, occupancy assessments, and habitat classification, aerial imagery was collected for orthoDEMs to aid in habitat descriptions and long-term monitoring of island change. The report is forthcoming.
