Why do you think they migrate south into Illinois and then east across to Indiana, rather than taking a straighter, shorter line to Indiana? (Hint: What is the biggest city in those states?

What do you think influenced the pilots' choice of route in other states on the route?   Migration Journal Journey North is pleased to feature this educational adventure presented in cooperation with the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP).
