"Ornithogenic Fire: Raptors as Propagators of Fire in the Australian Savanna

"BOB GOSFORD | NOV 08, 2015 11:57AM

"There is compelling evidence that at least two raptor species – the Brown
Falcon and the Black Kite – act as propagators of fire within the
Australian savanna woodlands and perhaps in other similar biomes elsewhere

"Attracted to smoke and fires, where they seek escaping prey, related to
Australian Aboriginal beliefs that kites spread fires by picking up burning
twigs and dropping them on dry grass."

This may be a useful exercise in source credibility, academic rigour,
primary data sample sizes.

Or he might be right...
