In the summers of 1991 and 1992, the authors studied dawn activity patterns of marbled murrelets in Prince William Sound (PWS) to develop a protocol for Southcentral Alaska. To describe nesting habitat in PWS, the authors conducted dawn watch surveys at randomly selected sites and located 10 murrelet nests on Naked Island. Murrelet dawn activity began two hours before dawn, necessitating earlier dawn surveys than at lower latitudes. The authors also found a more compressed breeding season than at lower latitudes. Murrelet activity on Naked Island was the highest in forests of moderate to high volume and high stand size (large trees).
