This study examined the migration routes and spatial distribution of 166 adult and juvenile King Eiders breeding in northern Alaska throughout the annual cycle. Satellite transmitters provided information on migration timing, migration distances, location of important molt, winter, and staging areas, migratory connectivity between those areas, and estimates of annual survival of adult King Eiders.
