New tracking devices to aid in continuing study of black vultures

A transmitter is carefully tied to the back of a black vulture in Martinsburg, W.Va., Aug.18, 2020. Black vultures have been roosting near the airfield at the 167th Airlift Wing since 2017 and pose a threat to local air traffic. The transmitter will provide information about the bird’s behavior and flight patterns, helping to mitigate aviation hazards.
