Which outcome occurs among migrating birds experiencing excessive wing loading during headwinds encountering thermal updrafts?

💡 Explanation

Increased wing loading demands greater lift; therefore, if headwinds require climbing using thermals, powered flapping becomes necessary because reliance on buoyancy and pure soaring is insufficient, rather than providing improved or maintained positional control.
