Abstract: Subsistence migratory bird hunting is authorized in subsistence-eligible areas of Alaska. We collect information on the annual subsistence harvest of 60 species of birds (including geese, ducks, swans, cranes, loons, seabirds, shorebirds, and upland game birds) through surveys of households in the subsistence-eligible areas of Alaska. Data are used to promulgate harvest regulations to provide maximum subsistence harvest opportunity while keeping migratory bird populations at desired levels.
