Most birds fly below 500 feet except during migration. There is no reason to expend the energy to go higher -- and there may be dangers, such as exposure to higher winds or to the sharp vision of hawks. When migrating, however, birds often do climb to relatively great heights, possibly to avoid dehydration in the warmer air near the ground. Migrating birds in the Caribbean are mostly observed around 10,000 feet, although some are found half and some twice that high. Generally long-distance migrants seem to start out at about 5,000 feet and then progressively climb to around 20,000 feet. Just like jet aircraft, the optimum cruise altitude of migrants increases as their "fuel" is used up and their weight declines. Vultures sometimes rise over 10,000 feet in order to scan larger areas for food (and to watch the behavior of distant vultures for clues to the location of a feast). Perhaps the most impressive altitude record is that of a flock of Whooper Swans which was seen on radar arriving over Northern Ireland on migration and was visually identified by an airline pilot at 29,000 feet.

A crow flies to a point that is 1 mile east and 20 miles south of its starting point How far does the crow fly?
The crow would have to fly a distance of 20.4 miles to reach the point that is 1 mile east and 20 miles south of its starting point. This can be calculated using Pythagoras' theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the distance flown by the crow) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the right triangle formed by the crow's path.
