Please don't hit the birds, you may injure them or kill them and you can
always repair your glider. This is not a game to them, they have instincts
and are just acting on them...
It is much more of a pleasure to me to share the sky with them...
thermaling with several hawks in formation for a length of time still gives
me this awesome feeling.
