(WHTM) — In Pennsylvania, you may see many geese throughout the year. During the fall and winter months, you may hear them honking as they fly overhead in a V shape. When the geese are in a V ...

Remember when you were a kid and you looked up at the sky to see dozens of geese soaring overhead in a V shape? "Why do they do that?" you probably wondered. Seeing birds — from geese to pelicans and ...

When a bird flaps its wings it disturbs the air and leaves whirling eddies behind. An individual gets a little extra lift from the wake of a bird out front (and slightly below it) when they fly in ...

Birds fly in a V formation to save energy. The bird in front creates lift for those behind. This teamwork makes long flights easier. Scientists studied ibises using tracking devices. They observed ...

OK, this is just cool: We all know birds fly in V-formations, but an in-depth study into the pattern using high-tech GPS sensors has found just how precise a science the flight model is. After ...
