November 8, 2006: Migration Day 35
In Boone County, Indiana, the team waited a few hours
at the ready, hoping for the fog to clear enough to fly. It didn't
happen.
They finally had to call it a down day. The fog
cleared up, but the
winds turned.

Today's
Journal Question: Meanwhile, 13 Whooping cranes
in the new flock have begun migration. They include cranes #502, 503 and 507 — who
arrived at the Florida winter home Nov. 6!. How long did
it take hese
three to make their first unassisted journey
south? Why can the wild cranes travel
so much faster than the cranes and planes?
Journey
North is pleased to feature this educational adventure presented in
cooperation with the Whooping
Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP).
