This dataset describes the foraging ecology, life history responses to poor foraging conditions, and overwintering ecology of red-legged kittiwakes breeding in the southeast Bering Sea on St. George Island, AK between 2015 and 2017. Data loggers were deployed during the summers 2015-17 to collect su...
