I heard somewhere that the small birds that fly this way do so because they are so light weight. The downward thrust of the wings sends the bird upward and then with the wings against the body or preparing for another downward thrust, gravity brings the bird down again. Any thoughts?



Happy Thanksgiving one and all.
