Abstract We conducted extensive behavioral and food sampling of Atlantic brant ( Branta bernicla hrota ) across their winter range and used time–activity budgets for brant to determine daily energy expenditure (DEE). Sampling occurred 1 December–31 May 2006–2008 in 11,225‐km 2 sites between Rhode Is...
