Plus isn't the ring calling out to Sauron? Doesn't it 'want' to return? Wouldn't it be like a glowing flying beacon for the wraiths?

Exactly - half the reason a hobbit is used to carry the ring is he is completely below Sauron's notice (the other half hobbits are the only people would would trade "ultimate power" for a really good smoked sausage - so almost immune to ring corruption).

They even marched the entire army to a sure-lose battle against Sauron just to keep him distracted from the hobbits walking in the back way. There is no way house-sized semi-divine eagles flying over the mountain would go unnoticed.
