Abstract
Ashy Storm-Petrels (ASSP) breed in a range restricted to the southern California Current, from Mendocino County in northern California, United States, to the Coronado Islands in northwest Baja California, Mexico. Approximately half the global population nests on the California Channel Islands, but nesting at one of them, Anacapa Island, had not been recorded before this study. In 2011, 10 years after rats were eradicated, we conducted a study to determine the breeding status of ASSP on Anacapa Island. We used habitat searches coupled with acoustic sensors to assess potential nesting areas and conducted mist netting to determine general presence. We found one active nest containing a nearly fledged ASSP chick in 2011, representing the first breeding record for the island.
