Air drop experiments move birds to range areas
The U S Fish and Wildlife Service describes dropping chukars at 100 mph and turkeys at 50 mph from planes 200 to 300 feet up. Birds tumble briefly, then stabilize and land.

Waterfowl officials call this the most bountiful duck production in recent history.
