Which bird thermals the best?

An excellent soaring bird has not been mentioned: the Sandhill Crane. Very true, Herbert! In Central/Eastern Washington State there's a big Sandhill Crane migration every spring... We can hear the huge flocks on the ground as they pass over our gliderport at several thousand feet - loud conversationalists, they are! I've never shared a thermal with one, but I've flown near them and noticed they have an uncanny knack for finding shear-lines and streets. Someday I'll figure out how to take advantage of those myself... :-P --Noel
