Description:

Abstract:: This data set contains the morphometric information for birds caught in mistnets and with other means for sampling Avian Influenza (AI). These data were collected during fall migration on Iturup Island, Kurile Island Chain, Russian Far East, during fall (August-September) in collaboration with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, USA. On Iturup, the locations of Ribaky (lat 45 12 34,97 N, long147 50 55,63 E), Kurilsk, Reydovo (lat 45 13 31,11 N, long 148 03 36,18 E), Tornaya Bay (lat 45 19 31,91 N, long 148 25 11,83 E), Kitovyi (lat 45 15 34,33 N, long 147 52 49,77 E), Burevestnik (lat 44 55 56,41 N, long 147 36 41,47 E) and Gorniy (lat 44 55 41,07 N, long 147 34 25,51 E) were sampled. It was assumed that some birds in that region link with Alaska. This dataset focuses on passerines, shorebirds and seabirds. Measurements from 133 species are reported in the dataset. Avian Influenza analysis of samples is coming forward, and will be published elsewhere. Here we present on traditional bird banding and measurements of birds caught opportunistically in the framework of the AI sampling campaign 2006. This dataset links with 6 other sites in the Russian Far East, and is compatible to other bird banding studies along the flyway. It represents for the first time a coordinated study done during fall migration and with identical methods at 6 sites within the Sea of Okhotsk region, Russian Far East. Data from the other study sites are also available online. An analysis of these data is coming forward; for details please contact authors and project collaborators.

Purpose:: These data were collected in order to link the potential occurrence of Avian Influenza in the Russian Far East with morphometric measures for the same individuals. Data from this site are compatible with 6 other locations where the same data where collected following an identical protocol. This would allow to learn more about state of the birds, subspecies, migration tactics, flyways and Avian Influenza.

Supplemental_Information:: The sampling and banding sites are geo-referenced. The following sites were surveyed by the survey team members: Ribaky (lat 45 12 34,97 N, long 147 50 55,63 E), Kurilsk, Reydovo (lat 45 13 31,11 N, long 148 03 36,18 E), Tornaya Bay (lat 45 19 31,91 N, long 148 25 11,83 E), Kitovyi (lat 45 15 34,33 N, long 147 52 49,77 E), Burevestnik (lat 44 55 56,41 N, long 147 36 41,47 E) and Gorniy (lat 44 55 41,07 N, long 147 34 25,51 E). The Avian Influenza component of this study is currently in progress and will be reported elsewhere. For details, please contact authors. The Banding Protocol followed the 'revised European African Songbird Migration Network' standards (Bairlein et al. 1995; available online) and used the Kaiser fat score. The suggested field protocol is included in the methods section for transparency. The AI data are coming forward, they can be linked with this data set by the banding and individual id number. The AI data have a database of their own.
