EWHALE lab, INBRE Program, Biology and Wildlife Dept. Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska Fairbanks. 2008 Digital Dataset NA NA na This data set contains data for birds caught with mistnets and with other means for sampling Avian Influenza (AI). 457 samples were collected for Avian Influenza at Verengery and the fishermen village of Pogranichnoye . Venegery estuary is a large pristine wilderness area located on the Sea of Okhotsk in mid-east of Sakhalin Island, Russian Far East. These data were collected during fall migration in collaboration with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, USA. It was assumed that some birds in that region link with Alaska. This dataset focuses mainly on seabirds, some passerines, shorebirds and sea lions. Measurements from caught species are reported in the dataset. Avian Influenza analysis of samples is coming forward, and will be published elsewhere. Data include traditional bird banding and opportunistic measurements of birds caught in the framework of the Russian Far East AI sampling campaign 2008. This dataset is part of a coordinated study done during spring and fall migration and with identical methods at the other 6 sites within the wider Sea of Okhotsk region, Russian Far East in 2006, 2007 and 2008. 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. These data were collected in order to link the potential occurrence of Avian Influenza in the Russian Far East and Hokkaido/Japan with morphometric measures for the same individuals. Data from this site are compatible with 6 other locations at 2006, 2007 and 2008 and where the same data where collected following an identical protocol. Findings from this study would allow to learn more about state of the birds, subspecies, migration tactics, flyways and Avian Influenza. The sampling and banding sites are geo-referenced. 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. Fully explained in Methodology; see protocol. The banding data are submitted to the Russian Ringing Center in Moscow. Bird Banding Center is located physically at: Institute of Ecology and Evolution, 33 Leninsky pr., Moscow 119071, electronically at: http://www.sevin.ru/menues1/index_eng.html .
