Migration Target Day + 4

Waiting Patiently
Would you rather be the pilot or one of the cranes? Would you rather be a crane near the ultralight or one further back?

"Ho-hum" says Heather Ray while patiently waiting for better flying conditions. Today's winds were 10 knots from the west--too strong for flying. That's even worse than yesterday's "trashy" winds!


Try This! Journaling Question
  • Are you feeling impatient waiting for the migration to begin? Imagine how impatient the WCEP team is feeling! Do you think the cranes are impatient, too? Why or why not?


Journey North is pleased to feature this educational adventure made possible by the

Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP).
