A) track line (black) and GPS locations (blue dots) of a western gull from Southeast Farallon Island. Yellow dots along the track line were locations where the gull was stationary (travel speed <6 km h−1). Arrows mark the direction of travel from the colony or mainland. B) zoomed images of the track line over land where stopover sites were differentiated from brief stops by identifying consecutive stationary locations within a 0.5 km radius for longer than 5 min. For each stopover site, we calculated the duration, area (in sq. meters), and distance between sites. The enlargements show how two sites were quantified using minimum convex polygons. In this case, the bird made two separate searches in roughly the same general location on the same trip but separated by greater than 5 min (PNG 662 kb)
