	note = {This Masters thesis concerns the foraging and diving behavior of common murres off Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.  The study covers the 2013 and 2015. This means that a year of unusually warm water (2013, the year of {\textquotedblleft}the Blob{\textquotedblright} of warm water off the west coast), and 2015, a year with a more typical climate, were studied. Location trackers were affixed to non-breeding murres and their patterns of foraging were studied. The author also studied diving behavior in murres.  This is an interesting look at how predatory seabirds handle different oceanographic conditions in a changing world. Major professors were  Robert M. Suryan and Donald E. Lyons.},
