Whooping Crane

"Chass Ten" Closer to Goal! (+86 Miles) January 18, 2010: Migration Day 87 Photo: Heather Ray, Operation Migration Yessss! After 4 grounded days, today they flew right over the Madison County stop and onward to Gilchrist County, Florida. Hooray! That's 86 miles on Day 87: 1199 miles total. Next stop: Halpata-Tastanaki Preserve — just one flight from their final goal. NEXT FLY DAY: Arrival Event! See the birds fly over the Dunnellon/Marion County Airport, 15070 SE 111th St. (off Hwy 484E) in Dunnellon, Florida, on their way to Halpata. The flyover should be around 7:30/8:00 a.m. It's almost Celebration time!   (Map|Data|Animation) In the Classroom • (a) How did folding paper cranes help the fourth graders in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, help this migration? check it out on their "Classrooms in Action" page. • (b) You know that frost causes problems on the ultralight wings, but something else was causing the problem at the Jefferson County stop they departed today.
