Dana - Ah, so from the front. I guess Eagles and Hawks are not V's but flat from the front? Learned a new thing today...as always it seems. I am always learning on Project Noah. Love it! Thanks.
Thanks, Heather.
Turkey Vultures only rarely soar in the extreme 'V' shape. Their usual shape is dihedral, which is more like a very flat 'v'.

Cornell website says this..."But if it's soaring with its wings raised in a V and making wobbly circles, it's likely a Turkey Vulture." What does the raised in a V mean? V from what angle?
Thanks Liam. You are so helpful with the birds I can't find in the books because I'm new to the bird watching!
Dana - You are right. As confirmed by Liam, who always seems to know the birds. If he's not an ornithologist, he should/could be. :-)
