No wonder I flew a 2.5 hour thermal flight for Cross Country at the NATS.
Better than having a cigarette.
Happy Thermalling.

OK, so I'm watching two Cooper's hawks cavorting in and around
my lilac bushes. One grabs a dead branch from the ground and
parades around and the other prances around and opens its wings. I
watched this strange activity for about an hour then looked up the
habits of Cooper's hawks. Turns out I was watching the second
phase of their mating ritual which is preceded by, get this, 30 to
45 minutes of thermal soaring. Hmm...
