Beware, Derek, because double-crested cormorants often also fly in V-formations, although sometimes they are more in long lines. Other birds like ducks too can fly in V-formations. Generally the geese are noisy with their honking, often being heard before seen, whereas cormorants fly silently as a rule. Of course, now is a good time of year to see Vs of geese, and often their movements are just movements locally from one habitat to another, e.g. from feeding fields to roosting lakes or bays.

Do any other birds fly south in V formation ?? Forgive me as I am not up on my fall migratory birds > Today was spectacular though because there were approx 100 + . One huge formation and a couple splinter groups . Reminds me of a air show formations from Shearwater Air Show days gone by . Last week there was a group higher up (than usual to me ) as high as I have seen some jet planes . Pretty impressive sites on these cooler fallish days !
