Migratory flight patterns

Vees is the plural of vee, the letter V or anything shaped like it.

Birds fly in vees.

A sweater has a vee neck.

The geese formed vees across the autumn sky.

The singular vee also names the hand gesture with index and middle fingers spread—for victory or peace, or turned inward as a British insult.
