“…A limited ice-free season on breeding lakes is another potential explanation; however, the duration of the ice-free summer throughout most of its range is substantially longer than the total time required for incubation and chick rearing (Walsh et al 1998). Furthermore, in portions of their range above 708N latitude, Red-throated Loons nest sympatrically with Yellow-billed Loons (Gavia adamsii), which need .100 days to hatch and fledge their young (North 1994); this suggests that a seasonal constraint on fledging time was unlikely even prior to the current pattern of climate warming in the Arctic (Hinzman et al 2005). …”

“…While migrating, they stay a couple hundred meters offshore and fly at altitudes less than 100 m (North, 1994). They primarily eat fish, but they also consume some invertebrates and vegetation (North, 1994). They are considered Near Threatened (International Union for Conservation of Nature, 2014).…”

Conversion FactorsInch/Pound to International System of Units AbstractWith growing climate change concerns and energy constraints, there is an increasing need for renewable energy sources within the United States and globally. Looking forward, offshore wind-energy infrastructure (OWEI) has the potential to produce a significant proportion of the power needed to reach our Nation's renewable energy goal. Offshore wind-energy sites can capitalize open areas within Federal waters that have persistent, high winds with large energy production potential. Although there are few locations in the California Current System (CCS) where it would be acceptable to build pile-mounted wind turbines in waters less than 50 m deep, the development of technology able to support deep-water OWEI (>200 m depth) could enable wind-energy production in the CCS. As with all human-use of the marine environment, understanding the potential impacts of wind-energy infrastructure on the marine ecosystem is an integral part of offshore wind-energy research and planning. Herein, we present a comprehensive database to quantify marine bird vulnerability to potential OWEI in the CCS (see https://doi.org/10.5066/F79C6VJ0). These data were used to quantify marine bird vulnerabilities at the population level. For 81 marine bird species present in the CCS, we created three vulnerability indices: Population Vulnerability, Collision Vulnerability, and Displacement Vulnerability. Population Vulnerability...

“…In the fifth scenario, all harvest was allocated to newly fledged loons, 1-year old loons, and 2-year old loons, with the harvest among these three classes proportionally distributed. The rationale for this scenario is that these cohorts are the ones that (a) likely remain at-sea year round without necessarily returning to breeding areas and thus might spend disproportionately more time near the Bering Strait, (b) may be more naïve and thus more readily harvested, or (c) for juveniles, may be more readily confused with common loons (North, 1994), which are reported harvested in larger numbers in this region than yellow-billed loons (Naves, 2008). The sixth harvest scenario is the converse of the fifth in that all harvest is allocated to those loons age 3 or older, with the harvest among these older age classes distributed proportionately.…”
