Behavior of sandhill cranes harnessed with different satellite transmitters Behavior of sandhill cranes harnessed with different satellite transmitters
The effectiveness of various attachment methods and designs of platform transmitting terminals (PTT's) was tested on captive sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, Maryland, during 1989-91. Combinations of attachment and transmitter designs included neoprene cord harness with batteries separate from the transmitter (2 harness designs), Teflon...

Flight performance energetics and water turnovers of Tippler Pigeons with a harness and doorsal load Flight performance energetics and water turnovers of Tippler Pigeons with a harness and doorsal load
We measured carbon dioxide production and water efflux of 12 tippler pigeons (Columba spp.) during seven experimental flights using the doubly labeled water (DLW) method. Prior to the experiment birds were randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group flew as controls (no load or harness) on all seven flights. The other group wore a harness on two flights, a dorsal load/harness...

Recent trends in counts of migrant hawks from northeastern North America Recent trends in counts of migrant hawks from northeastern North America
Using simple regression, pooled-sites route-regression, and nonparametric rank-trend analyses, we evaluated trends in counts of hawks migrating past 6 eastern hawk lookouts from 1972 to 1987. The indexing variable was the total count for a season. Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), merlin (F. columbarius), osprey (Pandion haliaetus), and Cooper's...

Foraging flights of the white-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus): Radiotracking and doubly-labelled water Foraging flights of the white-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus): Radiotracking and doubly-labelled water
Radiotracking transmitters were fitted to White-tailed Tropicbirds nesting at Culebra, Puerto Rico. Foragers were located by light aircraft out to 89 km SSW of the nesting colony, over a deep-water foraging area south of Vieques Island, Puerto Rico and west of St Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands. Two birds were followed out to 176 km NNW from the colony, over the Puerto Rico Trench, but these...

Surveying woodland raptors by broadcast of conspecific vocalizations Surveying woodland raptors by broadcast of conspecific vocalizations
We surveyed for raptors in forests on study areas in five of the eastern United States. For Cooper's Hawks (Accipiter cooperi), Red-shouldered Hawks (Buteo lineatus), and Barred Owls (Strix varia) the contact rates obtained by broadcasting taped vocalizations of conspecifics along roads were significantly greater than contact rates obtained by only looking and listening from the roadside...

Aerial tracking of radio-marked white-tailed tropicbirds over the Caribbean Sea Aerial tracking of radio-marked white-tailed tropicbirds over the Caribbean Sea
We radio-marked nesting white-tailed tropicbirds at Culebra National Wildlife Refuge, Puerto Rico, and tracked them from a Cessna 182 during flights over the open sea. Locations of the birds were determined using standard aerial telemetry techniques for side-facing Yagi antennas. We used strut-mounted, 4-element Yagi antennas connected to a switchbox and scanning receiver. By recording...
