Exercise
on a Down Day (+0
Miles)
November 11, 2010: Migration Day 33
Photo Operation Migration
On
this, the fifth day down, the
birds got some welcome exercise. The steady flow of warm air from
the south will bring another
warm day. As soon as the winds shift,
the birds will be able to depart Piatt County, IL. If you didn't
see it in
yesterday's report, here
is a reminder: Last year (2009) the team didn't even arrive
here until November 27. The year before that (2008) it was November
21. The weather will change!
A
Contest! You
can help the team win a grant for $25,000 to continue helping
the cranes! Visit
the Pepsi
Refresh Challenge website to vote for Operation Migration
today. You can vote every day until Dec. 31. |

(a) How
do you think the team gets
the birds to come back
to the pen on exercise
days? How does your parent
get you to come inside
when it's time for dinner?
How does exercise help
the
cranes? How does exercise
help you?
(b-for-bonus) Click
on Journey North's Resource
Maps. Find one of today's wind maps. Then find a weather map that shows
high and low pressure cells, which influence the direction the wind blows.
When do you think a change in the wind direction will occur?
