Hawks and all flying birds fly the same way that an airplane stays in the air. When a bird extends its wings and starts moving, air flows over the wing. This creates high pressure on top of the wing and low pressure on the underside. The air moves under the wing, and helps push it up.

Hawks can fly high, but normally one thinks of soaring as flying for long periods in an apparently effortless way, using wind currents and thermals to stay aloft (like an albatross).

hawks are more famous for HOVERING, where they vigorously flap they wings to stay aloft but motionless, while they seek prey with their excellent vision.

Hawks and other large birds use air currents to give them lift, similar to gliders and hang gliders.

A hawk can glide for about 4 hours using thermals before he needs to rest.
