October 17, 2005 Migration Day 4 Grounded by Weather After 3 days of progress, a strong head-wind and misty drizzle mean no flying today. The birds are safely in their pen in Sauk County, Wisconsin. The crew is catching up on sleep. Then they will do chores around camp. While we wait, pilot Brooke Pennypacker has this video message for you. All the Operation Migration pilots consider you friends! Video Clip Meet Pilot Brooke Pennypacker Can't View Video? Macs PCs Track the Migration Use our map or make your own with this migration data.

Why is it important for us to know about this migration? • Migration Math: In 4 days, the cranes have traveled this far: 8 miles, 17.1 miles, 22.8 miles, 0 miles. What's the total distance gone? What is the average distance per day in the 4 days of migration? If the trip is roughly 1225 miles, how many miles are left? • Record Keeping: This is the first "no-fly" day of this year's migration. Make your first tally mark in the "no-fly" column on your migration comparison chart.
