Today's
Journal Question: When cranes 523 and 524 arrived
in Florida on Nov. 22, where did they check in? Why do you think
they went there? What problems could arise if they (and more cranes
from 2005) want to stay in that place?
(a) How many days longer has this migration lasted than
the shortest migration?
(b-for-Bonus) What is the average length
(number of days) of the past 5 migrations? What is your
predicted date of arrival now?
