why eagles fly in circle?


Have you ever noticed eagles flying in circles? You have probably seen them flying for a long time without flapping constantly. After experiencing such scenarios, you may have wondered how they can fly in such a way and why do eagles fly in circles?
Eagles fly in circles to stay inside the thermal column that helps them gain height without effort. By doing so, they can stay aloft for an extended period without even flapping their wings. Hence, they always try to remain inside the thermal column by creating flying circles in the sky.

Eagles boast long, broad wings, with a comparatively big surface area than other birdies. Consequently, they can catch more rising currents of warm air, known as thermals.Therefore, they rise higher or stay aloft for an extended duration without flapping their wings. Once they reach their desired flying height, they just position their wings to glide effortlessly.
Eagles are known for flying high, thus allowing them to spot prey on land or in water. They can reach up to 10,000 feet if required. They boast acute vision, allowing them to detect targets hiding underwater.
