Flapping rates of migrating and foraging Turkey Vultures <i>Cathartes aura</i> in Costa Rica
Vulture News, 2006 Local and migrating populations of Turkey Vultures Cathartes aura co-exist in Costa Rica in autumn and spring (Stiles & Skutch 1989). We studied the flapping rates of individuals from these two populations to compare flight modes and the amount of energy invested in active flight. Migrants tended to fly higher in more stable air than local birds, which
