Nice ducks. I think they actually fly in synchronicity to take advantage of the atmospheric effects (currents) created by the lead duck's wings. Like the Canadian geese I see flying north in late spring and south in that saddest of seasons ('cause it means buying heat is nigh). ħumanUser talk:Human 05:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Canada geese do take advantage of one another's wingtip vortices, I believe, drafting on the effects of the one in front. Nonetheless, one should never impute to intelligence what may be explained by simple laziness coupled with common sense.
Birds and insects do not typically carry passports, so there is no guarantee that the geese you see are Canadian. And shame on you for mentioning hte heating season here in late July; I have been trying to maintain some denial here, but my bubble is now popped. Thanks a lot for poking up the tattered remains of my stressed-out Puritan work ethic. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 07:12, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
