Why do kestrels soar?

Files contain information on flight parameters obtained from lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni) commuting flights or foraging trips (depending on the variable) and the mean values of those parameters per 6-hour interval. Data were collected using high-frequency GPS-dataloggers to track individual lesse...

Sumario:Files contain information on flight parameters obtained from lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni) commuting flights or foraging trips (depending on the variable) and the mean values of those parameters per 6-hour interval. Data were collected using high-frequency GPS-dataloggers to track individual lesser kestrels from two breeding colonies in southern Spain. The study was conducted throughout the breeding season of 4 consecutive years (2011-2014). For additional information contact Jesús Hernández-Pliego, email: jhpliego@ebd.csic.es
