No go. "It has rained so much in central Wisconsin in
the last week," writes senior pilot Joe Duff, "that . . .instead
of leading
the
birds south with ultralight aircraft we are going to build an
ark and load them two by two." Joe is kidding,
but the weather forecast remains gloomy. Please join us in hoping
the weather changes SOON!

Today's Journal Question:(a) How would you describe a crane's foot? (See photo at top.) Draw the tracks you think cranes make!
(b-for-bonus) live on land and in water. How are their feet and legs suitable for both field and pond or marsh? For help with your answer, see Crane Adaptations: The Legs and Feet.
