Why do hawks circle in the sky?
Hawks circle when they are looking for prey and they also look like they are circling when they are actually riding the warm thermals in the atmosphere. Some of what you might think are hawks could actually be turkey vultures or black birds. *Improvement* Mainly buteos do soaring, as their wide wings enable them to glide without a single flap of the wing. Vultures will circle on warm thermals, and doves can catch the wind and briefly glide. Swallows and martins circle and zip in the sky catching small bugs.
