Radar Observations of Bird Migration at Cape Prince of Wales
Observations of bird movements at Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, were made by means of radar during the spring migration seasons of 1969 and 1970. Between 10 and 15 May 1970, flocks of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) made huge radar targets and were tracked easily as they flew westwards across the...
