V shaped formation streaming
They knew it was spring when the wild duck flew north again, to Siberia. Early in the morning, when he got up to chop wood and light a fire, Rakesh saw the V shaped formation streaming north-wards, the calls of the birds carrying clearly through the thin mountain air.
Could you explain to me the emboldened parts? (even I don't know the meaning of "streaming" in this case)

When ducks and geese migrate, they fly these long distances in a pattern - the strongest is flying first, and the others are following behind it in two lines. The shape the flock makes looks like the letter "V". If there are lots of birds on migration, there will be many of these V's in the sky at the same time.
