BIRDERS’ NIGHT Victoria Natural History Society Year-round ecology and behaviour of seabirds is poorly understood due to difficulties associated with measuring at-sea activity during the non-breeding season. Jill Robinson describes her study of the at-sea distribution of small diving seabirds using lightweight biologging devices that track individuals across seasons.


Jill recovered 10 (of 31) geolocators deployed on Crested Auklets (Aethia cristatella) at a breeding site in Alaska and revealed for the first time, an unexpected long-distance migration.
