DeVault, Esteban Fernández-JuricicThis data publication includes raw data from 100 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) field trials at the Erie County Landfill, 10102 Hoover Road, Milan, OH, USA 44846-9711. Data were collected 08 July 2019 – 03 September 2019 and include UAS trial characteristics, bird counts from before and after the trial, focal vulture data, environmental characteristics, time stamps for post processing of flight-initiation distance and UAS speed.
To understand turkey vulture response to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) approach. Turkey vultures are considered a risk to aviation safety and dispersing them in a nonlethal way is of interest for human health and safety.
For more information about this study and these data, see Pfeiffer et al. (2021). These data were published on 11/02/2021. On 11/5/2021 metadata was updated to include reference to newly published article (Pfeiffer et al. 2021). Ninety-four videos recorded by the “eye-in-the-sky” UAS of the treatment UAS approaching turkey vultures were added to this package on 01/27/2022. In 6 trials, the “eye-in-the-sky” UAS failed to record the interaction (RunNo 3, 17, 32, 91, 92, and 94).
