Abstract

We used passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags to track the exact time and date that Leach's Storm-Petrel (Hydrobates leucorhous) chicks fledged from their burrow. The data included here are the last read for each of 123 chicks tracked in 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2022 on Gull Island, Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. We also include morphometric measurements of each chick that was banded and tagged for this study.
