Tiger sharks eat songbirds: Reply.

In response to our recent paper (Drymon et al. 2019), Yosef (2019) questions the mechanism proposed to explain interactions between tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) and migratory songbirds, while offering an alternative mechanism based on a single observation. We appreciate the comments from Yosef and the opportunity to respond. Yosef (2019) questions two aspects of the mechanism we suggested. First, he states that "the frequency and scale of inclement weather in fall is not consistent or regular between years." To this first point, we disagree. For small migratory birds, inclement weather events include cold fronts, rain, mist, or adverse winds (Newton 2007), which are sufficiently common in the northern Gulf of Mexico during the fall.
