Associated with short-distance movements, such as perching or low-altitude hunting. These behaviors typically occur in areas with poor updrafts, higher elevations, and steeper, north-facing terrain.

The data for these variables helps conservationists and land managers understand how landscape features—such as slope aspect and terrain ruggedness—directly influence eagle flight patterns. By identifying where eagles are likely to fly at low altitudes (States 1 and 2), researchers can better predict and mitigate risks, such as potential collisions with man-made structures like wind turbines. theagle.AJ.2.var

Research utilizing GPS tracking for 48 eagles identified four distinct behavioral states characterized by their median AGL: By identifying where eagles are likely to fly

The identifier refers to specific behavioral data for Golden Eagles , particularly focusing on their Altitude Above Ground Level (AGL) during different movement states. This variable is part of a modeling system used to differentiate between short-distance and long-distance flight behaviors based on landscape features.
