The Birds are on the move...
Jay Honeck writes:
I have heard that birds, when confronted with airplanes, will invariable *dive* to avoid us. Is this one of those "old pilot's tales", or is it true? I don't know if it is always true -- but at KPAO (my home airport) you do final for Runway 31 over the town dump and then over a duck pond. Loads of birds. Every time I have come anywhere near the birds they have dived. (If I see them early enough I go around before getting close.) It is quite possible that this is natural selection at work -- any birds in this area which do _not_ dive don't last very long... Chris
