Winds
Aloft Blow Flight Plans (+0
Miles)
Flight conditions on the ground were perfect this morning, but it was a different story aloft. Winds blew at 12 to 16 mph out of the southeast. Flying into such a strong headwind (see Journal Questions below) would tire the young birds and make progress too difficult. The team is standing down at Stopover #2 in south Juneau County, Wisconsin. NOTE: Yesterday's distance has been adjusted to 19 miles gone; the total journey on the new route is an estimated 1285 miles.
