November 6, 2001 Day 21 Good to Go TWO in a Row! Courtesy OM For the first time on this migration, the birds flew two days in a row. The cranes winged another 43 miles today, landing in Jennings County, Indiana on stop number 8 for the migration. They flew 1 hour and 40 minutes. Frost on the aircraft wings made for a late departure, and SE headwinds of 5-8 mph slowed their flight. A few days ago your journaling question asked how you thought Joe and Deke knew the birds were getting tired while flying. Look back at your notes, and then hear Joe's answer: Audio Clip Listen for four signs that tell pilots the birds are getting tired. (.wav format, 400 K / .aif format, 400 K) Try This!
