A recent study has documented how African vultures when searching for food, carrion that often occurs in unpredictable locations, rely on visually locating eagles that have already found the food. Click here for further description of this work.
Our research shows the red-shouldered hawks in Connecticut are most likely to scavenge from compost piles when crows are already on the scene. Both studies point to how interspecific interactions within a community of scavengers can influence an individual species foraging behavior.
