  1. Tag numbers followed by a letter indicate individual birds that were tagged twice (i.e., tags with “a” were put on the same individual). Birds were aged as After Hatching-Year (AHY), Second Year (SY), or After Second-Year (ASY) based on their calendar year (Pyle 1997), and some were sexed genetically as Female (F) or Male (M), or otherwise remained Unknown (U). Fat scores and lean weight are described in the Methods. The % of body weight is calculated with the tag + harness weight and the lean body weight. All weights/masses are in grams. Tag status: R = tag recovered, TL = tag lost on a retrieved bird (italics indicates bird for which tag was lost within 1 day of attaching it that later became a control), NR = tag not recovered (bird not observed/recaptured in return year)
  2. *Harness + tag weight estimated
  3. **Lean weight calculated from mass and/or fat scores recorded on another capture event
