See
slideshow: Setting Up the Travel
Pen
From camp comes
wet news: "RAIN, RAIN and
more RAIN is in store for the migration team today. We'll be standing
down for the third day in Hardin County, TN." Meanwhile, the crew has
set up the travel pen at the next stop: Franklin County, Alabama. See
how it's done in our slideshow, Setting
Up the Travel Pen. And if you're wondering about all the weather
delays, don't miss Ultralight
Pilot's Checklist: Weather or Not, in the b-for-bonus question
below.

In
the Classroom: Journal or
Discussion
(a) Nine
stops remain before arrival at St.
Marks NWR for the cranes who will make that
their winter home. Imagine a string
of days with perfect conditions starting
tomorrow. What's
the soonest
date the St. Marks group could arrive? The
other half of
the
Class of 2010 will
then migrate
four flights farther to
"Chass"
NWR for their winter home. What's the soonest
they could arrive? What's the single most
important factor ruling this migration?
(b-for-bonus) Make
a list of weather conditions the migration
has encountered. Think about the risks
each type of weather holds. Then check
your thoughts with a pilot,
here: Ultralight Pilot's Checklist: Weather
or Not.
