Acknowledgements to contributors who shared data:

Nous sommes très reconnaissants envers les personnes suivantes qui ont aimablement partagé leurs données de suivi GPS, afin d'estimer la vitesse de vol des oiseaux dans des contextes de migration ou de vol local. Nous remercions également Joaõ Guilherme-Lopes pour nous avoir partagé des contacts utiles.

We are very grateful to the following persons who kindly shared parts of their GPS tracking datasets, in order to estimate bird flight speed in migration or local flight contexts. We also thank Joaõ Guilherme-Lopes for sharing useful contacts.
