Hey #raptor #birdmigration fanatics! Over the past months I've added to eBird what's now almost 3,500 photos of raptors in flight from 4 years at Batumi Raptor Count — Most photos are aged/sexed, so you can filter down to specific plumages (and more). Enjoy! 🔗media.ebird.org/catalog?userId…

If, like me, you find it fascinating that small migratory birds reach altitudes of 5,000 or 6,000m when crossing ecological barriers, check out our new preprint. We equipped 16 nocturnal migratory species with multi-sensor loggers to study their migration: tinyurl.com/2xs7nvaz

A new study confirms how the joint application of acoustic and vertical-looking radar data can be used to quantify family-level bird migration, with the case study of the thrush family. Read more on doi.org/10.1002/rse2.3… Baptiste Schmid Birgen Haest

Wave or stream? Raphaël Nussbaumer and co-authors Cornell Lab found hat seasonal bird migration resembles a stream where bird populations on the ground are continuously replaced by new individuals, thanks to data from radars and eBird observations. More on doi.org/10.1111/ecog.0…

New paper out in Biogeography.News doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…! We compare some 15 years of GPS tracking and citizen science resighting data of Bewick's swans, to see which contains more information on population space use. GPS data substantially outperform resightings. Nonetheless...
