    Is this what all those Flock cameras are for?

    Reading the article, makes me think that mined areas are good for conservation. When the Angolan area where they congregate is demined their numbers might start declining.

    The falcons were found congregating on an obscure German forum from the early 2000's.

    What kind of frequencies do these falcon trackers use? Any datasheets available?Let us build FalconNogs (like Satnogs) with SDRs!

    They weren't "missing": GPS-tagged red-footed falcons revealed that they migrate to a tiny communal roost in central Angola (“Falcopolis”) each February–March.There, saved you a click (disappointed on National Geographic for that clickbaity headline).

    Do falcons have no right to privacy?
