Do eagles fly in circles?

Best Answers

Eagles fly in circles for the same reason that glider/sailplane pilots do: they are trying to stay inside a thermal to gain height without effort. On a sunny day the earth is heated unevenly. Darker areas tend to get warmed more so the air over these areas rises. read more
