November 28, 2004 Migration Day 50 Still Too Windy Photo OM All 14 cranes are still hunkered down in Walker County, Georgia. Winds this morning are out of the NNW—the right direction—but blowing at an unsteady 18-25mph. Heather says, "We'd just be inviting trouble if we were to attempt to gather our 14 gangly young Whooping cranes and expect them to form up on the ultralights in the too-windy conditions." The migration is at 746.4 statute miles and holding. Tomorrow looks better! Last Fall This Fall Map the Migration Make your own map using the latest migration data Try This!
