Bird Flight Research Advances Drone Technology and Wild Raptor Care

Caption

Flight hall at the UC Davis Center for Animal Flight and Innovation. Equipped with cameras for photogrammetry (motion capture) and high-speed video, the center can capture raptor flight in unprecedented detail. It could bring innovations in drone technology and wildlife rehabilitation. Postdoctoral researcher Alfonso Martinez stands at the end of the room with a test pattern.
