It’s a classic migration-season image: a flock of Canada geese flying across the sky, their progress marked by a chain of honks and steady wingbeats. Of birds that migrate for winter, most people ...

Dear Readers: I don’t have a fresh column this week, but after seeing a northbound formation of geese fly over this weekend, I thought that this column from January 2014 would be an appropriate ...

In their paper “ V-like formations in flocks of artificial birds ”, the two Brazilian researchers found that BOTH theories are true. They found that geese migrate in a “V” formation to provide each ...

This formation is a smart, collective strategy for long-distance travel, much like cyclists drafting or fighter pilots using the same technique. Snow geese, like Canada geese and pelicans, use this ...
