Do you ever wonder how birds can fly so long without ever flapping their wings? Based on Dr. Bob’s nature note, we dive deep into the functional morphology of bird flight - basically how they have adapted to use the environment to get around better! We cover different flight methods such as compression gliding, declivity currents and thermal soaring.
