Water temperature sampling by foraging Brünnich's Guillemots with bird‐borne data loggers
We describe the features of waters where seabirds were feeding by sampling vertical water temperature profiles with data loggers mounted on five Brünnich's Guillemots in Svalbard, Norway. The guillemots foraged in a cold water (−0.5–0.5°C SST (sea surface temperature)) by making 1.8 dive bouts...
