The most astounding part of this is the *decision* to forage at 10,000 ft where it feels like prey encounter and the energetic return on investment is unlikely. Or, maybe not.
Amazing evidence of dusk Peregrine attack on a Grey Plover, while the bird was flying at an altitude of 3000 metres (nearly 10,000 feet). A short thread 1/5 Paper by Michiel P. Boom et al: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wi… #ornithology #peregrine #waders #shorebirds

Prairie ducks down, boreal ducks up. Especially noteworthy: half of all the pintail counted were in the far north.
BREAKING: Duck numbers were estimated at 34 million, up 5% from 2023. Read this year’s Waterfowl Population Survey Results: ducks.org/ducknumbers Brought to you by @GeneralTire #DucksUnlimited #DucksUnlimitedGT #WaterfowlSurvey24

Circling back to this old post as we have a new paper out regarding this topic! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @KevinRingelman @LSUAgCenter @Ecol_Evol
