Black Falcons and thanks

["Greg & Val Clancy" <>]

Below are Stephen Debus' comments on Tony Ashton's post.

I think this is another case of loose use of 'hovering' just to mean
stationary in the air, without flapping.  Blacks are masters at
it.  Hovering is flapping flight; the stationary wind-hanging
(without flapping) is 'poising' or 'kiting', or what falconers call
'waiting on'.  I think a lot of misconceptions could be cleared up
with use of precise terms.  Otherwise, Tony's remarks are spot-on.

Cheers,

Steve
