Individuality in bird migration: routes and timing
TLDR
The overall contrast in repeatability between time and space was unexpected and may be owing to strong endogenous control of timing, while short-term variation in environmental conditions (weather and habitat) might promote route flexibility.
Migratory patterns of Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) from central Norway
Migratory behaviour is subject to intraspecific variation and may be determined by the age, sex and population origin of individuals. Here we equipped eight juvenile Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) with…
Migratory behaviour and ecology of a trans-Saharan migrant raptor, the osprey Pandion haliaetus
The seasonal migration of birds is one of the great phenomena of the natural world and satellite tracking provides a valuable means to analyse the behavioural and environmental factors that influence…
Repeat Tracking of Individual Songbirds Reveals Consistent Migration Timing but Flexibility in Route
TLDR
This work used light-level geolocators to track the long-distance journeys of migratory songbirds and, for the first time, repeat journeys of individuals, to provide novel evidence of low phenotypic plasticity in timing of spring migration.
Flexibility in daily travel routines causes regional variation in bird migration speed
TLDR
It is concluded that landscape properties have a profound effect on migration through regional variation in daily routines between the Ospreys’ passage of Europe and the Sahara.
Autumn migration of Ospreys from two distinct populations in Poland reveals partial migratory divide
Background Long-term ringing and telemetry studies show that the Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus ) is a broad-front migrant following different migratory flyways, depending on the geographical location of…
Habitat availability influences migration speed, refueling patterns and seasonal flyways of a fly-and-forage migrant
TLDR
The results suggest that habitat is an important factor in Eleonora’s falcon migratory strategies, and active selection of vegetation rich areas in combination with reduced migration speeds there, allows the migrating falcons to combine migration during the day with fly-and-forage refueling, while roosting most nights.
Individual variability in the migratory path and stopovers of a long-distance pelagic migrant
Migration strategy of a flight generalist, the Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus
TLDR
The gulls studied studied did not travel via the shortest possible route but made substantial detours by their tendency to follow coasts, and their overall migration speed was among the lowest recorded for migratory birds.
Tracking migration routes and the annual cycle of a trans-Sahara songbird migrant
TLDR
This work tracks the individual migration routes and annual cycles of male Northern Wheatears Oenanthe oenantshe, a trans-Sahara songbird migrant from a German breeding population with light-level geolocators, which wintered in the Sahel zone of western Africa.

Satellite tracking of Swedish Ospreys Pandion haliaetus: autumn migration routes and orientation
TLDR
There was no correlation between angular deviation and length of the migrational segment, indicating that the principles of orientation by vector summation may not be valid for Osprey migration.
Strategies of two ospreys Pandion haliaetus migrating between Sweden and tropical Africa as revealed by satellite tracking
TLDR
It is suggested that the Osprey is more time-selected on migration compared to other thermal migrants, and early arrival to gain a good winter and stopover territory may be a driving force for time minimization during migration.
Timing and speed of migration in North and West European populations of Sylvia warblers
TLDR
Shorter time on the breeding grounds and higher speed during autumn migration in more northern populations as well as higher speed in species undertaking longer migrations, indicate that migrants adjust their behaviour to a time shortage and migration behaviour may be under selection to economize time.
Timing and speed of migration in male, female and juvenile Ospreys Pandion haliaetus between Sweden and Africa as revealed by field observations, radar and satellite tracking
TLDR
In late departing Ospreys, especially males and juveniles, a major part of the energy for migration is probably deposited on the breeding grounds, supported by a correlation between the observed fraction of days spent travelling and departure date.
MIGRATION AND RANGING OF PEREGRINE FALCONS WINTERING ON THE GULF OF MEXICO COAST, TAMAULIPAS, MEXICO
TLDR
PTT data and capture locations of birds trapped in more than 1 year suggest fidelity to wintering areas, although perhaps not particular winter home ranges.
MIGRATION ROUTES OF STEPPE EAGLES BETWEEN ASIA AND AFRICA: A STUDY BY MEANS OF SATELLITE TELEMETRY
TLDR
The increase in Steppe Eagles overwintering in Arabia has probably contributed to the decline in the number of birds passing through Eilat in spring during recent years, and should help to explain the difference in eagle numbers between spring and autumn at such migration bottlenecks as Eil at, Suez, and Bab-el-Mandeb.
Routes and travel rates of migrating Peregrine Falcons Falco peregrinus and Swainson's Hawks Buteo swainsoni in the Western Hemisphere
TLDR
The migration routes, length of migration, and duration of migration of Peregrine Falcons Falco peregrinus tundrius and Swainson's Hawks Buteo swainsoni in the Western Hemisphere are described and compared.
Bird orientation: compensation for wind drift in migrating raptors is age dependent
Despite the potentially strong effect of wind on bird orientation, our understanding of how wind drift affects migrating birds is still very limited. Using data from satellite-based radio telemetry,…
The effect of wind, season and latitude on the migration speed of white storks Ciconia ciconia, along the eastern migration route
TLDR
In both spring and autumn tailwind (at 850mb) and latitude were found to be significant variables related to daily migration speed.
Optimal fat loads and long‐distance flights by migrating Knots Calidris canutus, Sanderlings C. alba and Turnstones Arenaria interpres
Arctic waders often build up large fat loads and complete their migratory journeys by a few long-distance flights between traditional staging sites. Optimal fat loads and choices of staging sites…
