Lessons From Geese

FACT 1: Do you know why geese fly in a “V” formation? Because the aerodynamics of the “V” formation enable the geese to fly over 70% further than if they fly alone. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an updraft for the bird behind it.

LESSON 1: Do you see the analogy here? They can go a lot further if they work together and help each other out. What a beautiful picture of the synergy of God’s creation – the sum of the whole being much greater than the sum of the individual parts

Good morning, Yorkie.
Thanks for the Geese Lessons.
I didn't know the reason for the "V" formation.
Am I smarter than a goose? .... No. :)

Enjoy your Monday.

Speaking of geese in V’s, Yorkie, do you know why the V’s are usually longer on one side then the other what with the effective nature of the v-formation as far as making the flying easier.

Hi yorkie, Loved your “Geese Picture” and story. I have heard about geese doing these things. Its marvelous to know how they do work together. They are smarter than we humans at times, aren’t they? FR is at a snail’s pace today. Have you noticed?

I am laughing so hard at myself....I used that site for shrinking, Meg, and I almost made it disappear! I didn't know how to do it, I guess? Yorkie, if I ever get it like I want it, I'll send it. It was so cute to start with~~LOL~~
