SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
As part of the USGS Ecosystems
mission to assess the status and trends
of the Nation’s biological resources, the
Alaska Science Center Landbird
Program conducts research on avian
populations within Alaska. Beginning in
the late 1990s, an outbreak of beak
deformities in Black-capped Chickadees
emerged in southcentral Alaska. USGS
scientists launched a study to
understand the scope of this problem
and its effect on wild birds. Since that
time, researchers have gathered
important information about the
deformities but their cause still remains
unknown. The collection of PII is
requested as part of this ongoing
research in resident Alaskan birds.
Members of the public provide
observation reports of birds with
deformities from around Alaska and
other regions of North America. These
reports are very important in that they
allow researchers to determine the
geographical distribution and species
affected. Data collection over such a
large and remote area would not be
possible without the public’s assistance.
As part of the online reporting system,
an individual’s phone number, email
address, and mailing address are
requested. This information allows
researchers to request additional details
or verify reports if necessary but is not
required for submission. PII is used only
for contact purposes, is stored in a
separate table that is encrypted, and is
not shared in any way with other
individuals, groups, or organizations.
