Do dragonflies migrate across the western Indian Ocean? (2009, background): “That of the Amur falcon Falco amurensis is of particular interest (Bildstein 2006) because its migration is so long, arduous and counter-intuitive (between the Russian Far East and southern Africa); because, uniquely, the entire species makes this ocean crossing; and because parts of its migratory…”
Regional and seasonal flight speeds of soaring migrants and the role of weather conditions at hourly and daily scales (2015, background): “The general absence of thermals over large water bodies in the temperate zones prohibits stationary circle-soaring there and requires soaring migrants to cross water bodies using flapping flight (Kerlinger 1989, Bildstein 2006, Bildstein et al. 2009).”
Bird migration in the southern hemisphere: a review comparing continents (2008, background): “Fifteen species of raptor migrate to southern Africa, although four of these are rare; greatest representation is by soaring hawks and eagles (Accipitridae) and strong-flying falcons (Falconidae), including Eleonora’s Falcon (Falco eleonorae) to Madagascar (Bildstein 2006).”
