October 10, 2002 Migration Target Date Rainy Target Date: No Go WCEP Map Fog, rain and wind at Necedah National Wildlife Refuge halted the migration plans for today. As you know, the target date means the crew is ready and they just wait for the right weather. Seventeen birds, three lead/chase ultralights, one scout ultralight and one top cover Cessna plane are still on the ground. Earlier this week, Heather said "It's getting cold here and it is definitely time to fly south!" Think about how this year's migration might be like and different from last year's.
