November 3, 2004 Migration Day 25 3rd Day Delayed in Kankakee County, IL From what direction are the winds blowing in this photo at dawn? OM The pilots lifted off at 6:30 this morning on a test flight. Their hopes were dashed when they ran into headwinds on the flight path. Such winds would cut ground speed to 14 mph. Distance to the next site ( in Indiana) is 43.2 miles, which would have taken more than 3 hours to cover. The weather will change, so don't be discouraged. Take a look at the arrival dates for the past three migrations. What is your prediction for this year's arrival? Map the Migration Make your own map using the latest migration data Try This!
