Hmmm - maybe that's why people who tailgate do what they do - they were
either ducks or geese in their previous lives!

...from a lurker on the digest and former wildlife biologist
(beginnings of
a bio there)....the 'V's that migrating birds form create a
lift/drag
advantage for the for the folks behind the leader (see
www.nascar.com). The
aerodynamics are affected by wind direction etc. so the 'V's will
vary from
symmetrical to asymmetrical depending on the relative direction of
any
headwind. They aren't always skewed
