Animal tracking data, such as the data collected since 2003 by Hawk Mountain Sanctuary on the movements of New World vultures, helps us to understand how individuals and populations move within local areas and migrate across continents. Scientific studies that provide such data are featured on Movebank.org, a free, online database of animal-tracking information that helps researchers to manage, share, protect, analyze, and archive their data.
