Where eagles soar: Fine‐resolution tracking reveals the spatiotemporal use of differential soaring modes in a large raptor
Unlike smaller raptors, which can readily use flapping flight, large raptors are mainly
restricted to soaring flight due to energetic constraints. Soaring comprises of two main …
