It's raining in Russell County, Kentucky, so they won't be able to reach Tennessee today as hoped. The bright side is that there's still a chance for people to see the departure from this stopover. The pilots will try to fly over the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery near the Wolf Creek Dam (map and directions). Liz at Operation Migration reminds everyone: Be there by 6:45, dressed warmly!
Yesterday
Joe wrote in the Operation Migration log, "I’ve
often wished that we had some way to pass on messages that the
cranes could
understand,
like
whispering
in
their
ear.
We’d
give them little pointers to help them along like,“if you
tuck in behind the wing tip, you can get a free ride,” or, “keep
following and we will take you to a place where it’s warm.” Joe
had some other thoughts for #703. See today's Journal Question!

Today's Journal Question: (a) Read this >> about #703's flight yesterday. Now imagine you are Joe talking to #703. What would you say to help teach the bird who wants to be boss? (b-for-bonus) Joe talked about #703 using misplaced aggression. Have you ever picked on someone smaller or weaker or kinder just to help yourself feel better when someone got mad at you? Can you think of a time when someone directed misplaced aggressed at you?
