Almost all birds' bodies are themselves aerodynamic, saving lots of energy.
That is a great video. I am surprised at how repetitive his flight back and forth is, as well as what picky little booger he is. |

Currently under lockdown?
Under the circumstances there are worse ways of spending eleven minutes or so.

Should get up to the times, rip out that 19th century clock and move up to the 20th century by replacing it with giant nixie tubes.

No no, LEDs are too flat, nixies have depth, they have class, they could be contenders.
They could add the day people seem to be having so much trouble with.

Over 400 parked planes at Victorville,CA. Plus the poppy bloom from the air.

Fun video. Lots of jets, lots of flowers.
Makes me miss flying. (Not in the big ones.) |

Elspode said the KC airport is loaded up too. There's 16,000 grounded.

Will Rogers was a smart man. He knew what was wrong, who caused it, and what to do about it.
He could also call someone an asshole and they'd think it was a compliment. This clip is relevant today...
