Default The birds are flying high

I'm about 100ft from river (hypontenuse) and the early bird population is
going crazy. Saw a BWO on my window so I figure that's the hatch. My
question is, why do the birds fly so high, about 100-200ft above river.
None down next to river. Do mayflies go high after emerge?

nb


What kind of birds? Not all birds feed on flying insects. Swallows,
Phoebes, fly catchers, etc feed on flying insects. Most birds do not.
Are you sure that the birds flying 200 feet above the river are fly
catchers of some kind?

You really should be asking:\

Why do fools fall in love?
why do birds sing so gay?
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love?

Tell me whyyyyyyyyyyyy, tell me whyyyyyyy yyyyyayyyyy
