Summary movement and energetic characteristics of bursts classified to flap-like and soar-like with over 95% probability (n = 119). Values reported are mean ± s.d. Asterisks denote a significant difference between flap-like and soar-like bursts (p < 0.0001), tested using either two-sided t-test (*) or Wilcoxon sum-ranks (**).
