Satellite-Tagged Amur Falcon Completes Nearly 4,750 km Nonstop Flight from Somalia to India

Apapang, a satellite-tagged adult male Amur falcon, completed a nonstop flight of nearly 4,750 km from Somalia to India in 95 hours, landing first near the Sone River and then near Gaya. This transcontinental journey highlights the species' remarkable endurance and migratory behavior. The tracking, part of a conservation effort by Tamenglong forest division and Wildlife Institute of India, also monitors two other tagged falcons remaining in Somalia. Amur falcons face conservation challenges but have benefited from protection measures in India.
