Characteristics of Nest Trees and Nesting Stands 



Acknowledgments 



We would like to acknowledge the contributions of 

 unpublished information made available to us by researchers 

 and wildlife biologists throughout the range of the Marbled 

 Murrelet. Their generous contributions of nest information 

 made this summary possible. For the California data, we 

 are extremely grateful to Steve Singer for the information 

 he has collected over the last two decades. Additional 

 information was kindly provided by Sal Chinnici of the 

 Pacific Lumber Company in association with Dave Fortna 

 and Steve Kerns. Lee Folliard of Arcata Redwood Company 



provided information from an additional 2 nests. We would 

 like to thank Karen Holtrop for her efforts and successes in 

 locating nests in Washington and her contributions of nest 

 data. Stephanie Hughes, Kevin Jordan, Irene Manley, John 

 Kelson, Paul Jones, and Alan Burger provided valuable 

 nest information from British Columbia. We are also grateful 

 to Nancy Naslund and Kathy Kuletz for contributing the 

 majority of nest site information from Alaska. We thank 

 Alan Burger, Martin Raphael, Nancy Naslund, Evelyn Bull, 

 Kimberly Titus, and C. John Ralph for reviewing earlier 

 drafts of this paper.
