Funding
We thank over 100 volunteers and colleagues who provided advice, lent equipment, or assisted with capturing, tracking, and surveying murrelets in Icy Bay. We especially are grateful to N. Hatch, L. Kenney, J. Felis, S. Schoen, A. Schaefer and N. Hajdukovich for their hard work in the field often under trying conditions. We also thank Icy Bay Lodge, Alsek Air, Temsco Helicopters and Coastal Helicopters, and several individuals and businesses in Yakutat for many years of support. We particularly acknowledge Les Hartley for safely flying over 800 hours of telemetry flights. We thank Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Chugach Native Corporation and Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority for permitting access to their lands. Funding for this study was provided primarily by the University of Montana, National Park Service, and USFWS. We thank two anonymous reviewers, Associate Editor K. Kuletz and Editor D. Ainley for helpful suggestions that improved our manuscript tremendously. The findings and conclusions in this manuscript are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the USFWS.
