Which navigational error occurs when oilbirds use echolocation in caves?

💡 Explanation

Signal blurring occurs because high humidity causes attenuation of ultrasonic calls, disrupting echolocation. The degradation of the return signal leads to navigational errors, therefore oilbirds misjudge distances, rather than face other acoustic masking or signal interference.
