Investigate raven depredation on ashy storm-petrels at Santa Cruz Island, California to learn if depredation behavior is specific to individuals, a family group, or widespread across the resident raven population. Project will evaluate effectiveness of ashy storm petrel nest modules for deterring raven predation and will capture, mark and follow up to 30 ravens to obtain movement and storm-petrel interaction data that will be used to inform management.
