📣 New paper in #AnimalBehaviour! 🦅 Young #goldeneagles that soar more and feed more often leave their parental territory earlier, highlighting how flight and food shape the path to independence. 10.1016/j.anbehav.2026.123712 @univie.ac.at #univienna 📸T. Thusholt

🎉 Excited to share the first published chapter of Julia Hatzl’s PhD thesis! Using GPS and ACC data from juvenile golden eagles, we found that birds with greater post-fledging flight efficiency and more frequent feeding left their parental territories earlier. tinyurl.com/4ae9zwdn #ornithology

A Martial Eagle ringed in 1997 lived thirty years, and GPS tracking showed how he successfully navigated life beside a wind farm. https://bit.ly/3VDd5F4 📷 Ralph Buij #RaptorResearch #Raptors #Birds

Northern Saw-whet owl feathers contain porphyrins, which fluoresce under UV but break down over time. Older feathers thus glow less intensely than newly-molted feathers. Here you can see three generations of feathers, making this an after second year bird. 🧠
