he logging platforms used in this study and corresponding flight tracks. (a) The combined logger unit used on the pigeon's back, (b) the ultralight, (c) pigeon tracks and (d) ultralight flight legs. Black and white triangles indicate the location of the release site and the loft, respectively. The parts of the tracks where pigeons performed orientation circles near the release site or loft, and the ultralight flight legs that did not form a straight line, were removed from the analysis, producing pigeon and ultralight flights with mean durations of approximately 293 and approximately 155 s respectively.
