Whooping Crane

Reaching Stopover #4! (+38 Miles) October 28, 2011: Migration Day 20 Image: Tom Schultz Whoop! Flying two days in a row, they made it to the final stop in the state of Wisconsin! Today's flight of 38 miles to Green County, Wisconsin was the longest yet for these young cranes. More details on who flew and who didn't will be posted later. Celebrate a good week of progress for our "beginners." They'll get better and better ahead.

(b-for-bonus) If cranes fly at 35 mph, approximately how long would it take them to cover today's distance? What effect would headwinds or tailwinds have on their speed?
