Abstract EN
We tracked two adult and three juvenile New Zealand falcons (Falco novaeseelandiae) in Kaingaroa Forest pine plantation from 2002 to 2008 using Argos satellite technology.
The home ranges for both adults and juveniles varied, ranging between 44 and 587 km2.
The falcons occasionally utilised areas outside the forest and used stands of all ages within the forest, generally in proportion to their availability.
For the most part, the juveniles remained within ca.
8 km of their nests and dispersed at 58, 69, and 68 days after fledging.
Falcon movement information was obtained from an average of four location points per tracking day per falcon at a putative accuracy of 350 m.
The transmitters, including their solar charge capability, performed well in the forest environment.
The use of all stand ages highlights the importance of forestry practises that maintain a mosaic of different aged pine stands.
