Ground effect on cormorants birds

Sorry to change the direction of this thread but...

1) I really notice ground effect landing on hot days, interesting how heat effects the lift in ground effect, if anyone has the formula of the relation of heat in the lift equation ?

2) I was watching a cormorant flying today and was particularly impressed with the skill at which this bird uses ground effect flying so low to the water and then landing in the water.

Does anyone have any on how birds use ground effect ?

Cheers
