Tracking Data for Three Large-Bodied Gull Species and Hybrids (Larus spp.)

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for three large-bodied gull species and hybrids (Larus species) utilizing coastal areas of Alaska. Child Item 1: "Argos and GPS Satellite Tracking Data for Three Large-Bodied Gull Species and Hybrids (Larus spp.) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos and Argos-linked GPS satellite transmitters. Child Item 2: "Argos and GPS Satellite Tracking Data for Three Large-Bodied Gull Species and Hybrids (Larus spp.) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos and Argos-linked GPS satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos GPS Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.
