Survey up to 30 locations across Tutuila Island, American Samoa for Tahiti petrel and other montane seabirds. Project will deploy passive acoustic song meters from January through March 2020, along with trail cameras to evaluate seabird activity and to detect the presence and activity of non-native mammalian predators; acoustic data will be analyzed to provide information about where birds are concentrated and inform focused on-the-ground searches.
