Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide wildlife feeding flock detection using a remote sensing imagery system. A remote sensing imagery system includes a radar assembly mounted to a mobile structure and a coupled logic device. The logic device is configured to receive radar returns corresponding to a detected target, determine a radial velocity spectrum associated with the detected target based, at least in part, on the received radar returns, and determine a probability the detected target includes a feeding flock based, at least in part, on the determined radial velocity spectrum. The logic device may generate radar image data based on the received radar returns, the determined radial velocity spectrum, and/or the probability the detected target includes the feeding flock. Subsequent user input and/or the sensor data may be used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.
