Wings anyone?

This week: Form follows function! You can tell a lot about a bird by its wings.
Since there was a request for examples of each type (which I sort of meant to include but forgot, oops) :
Active soaring wings: Think seabirds. Gulls, albatrosses.
Passive soaring wings: Large birds of prey. Eagles, vultures.
Elliptical wings: Generally small birds. Sparrows, crows, pheasants, but also forest-dwelling raptors.
High-speed wings: Mix of prey and predator birds. Ranges from falcons to swifts to ducks.
Hovering wings: Hummingbirds. :)
