Why the shadow of flying bird is not seen on the ground even though it is opaque?
If you see a bird but do not see a shadow on the ground, it is probably because of the angle the light is coming from. If you drew an imaginary line form the source of light, (probably the sun) through the bird, you would find the shadow of the bird where the line touched the ground. If there is no light, the bird cannot make a shadow.
