- it seems that it is also true for black storks ... "temperature differences and horizontal winds positively affected soaring sea movement by providing lift support in otherwise weak thermals" ... "birds could soar in weak thermals by utilizing horizontal winds, thus reducing energy costs of active flapping flight over vast water bodies" (https://movementecologyjournal.biomedce ... 23-00438-6)
