Migration |
Hooray! With good tailwinds, the migration blew out of Green County and across the border! Sixteen cranes made the 35.8 mile flight to Winnebago County in Illinois — including #710 and #727, who finally followed for a GREAT flight! Guess which of the crane-kids 714 broke away and went down early? It was crane #714, who was was easily found. She finished the day's journey safely crated away in the tracking van. The Class of 2007 had a GREAT day!
