Wind vs Bird

This morning on the way to work I saw am excellent example of why we talk about the wind in Wyoming so much. As I was holding the steering wheel at a 45 degree angle to stay on the road, a large black bird was trying to fly across the highway with very little success.
He was in front of me down the road aways,so I must have watched him for several minutes. His problem was he flying directly into the wind. He was flapping his wings for-all-he-was-worth and gaining only a few feet in distance and then he would glide and lose most of what he had gained. He also tried tacking into the wind without any better success. I was thinking, "Give it up bird and try later." I love it in Wyoming :>)
