Day 40

Still Not Flying

Pen site in Meigs County Photo OM, WCEP

Foggy, rainy, cloudy and 40 degrees at the stop in Meigs County, TN means the migration is grounded again. The showers are expected to move out of the area by day's end. Will tomorrow bring the ideal flying weather they must wait for to leave this particular stopover site in the safest way?
