An Instrumented Golden Eagle’s ( Aquila chrysaetos) Long-Distance Flight Behavior
One-second-processed three-dimensional position observations transmitted from an instrumented golden eagle were used to determine the detailed long-range flight behavior of the bird. Once elevated from the surface, the eagle systematically used atmospheric gravity waves, first to gain altitude, and...
