When
Will They Leave?
It’s October. The leaves in central Wisconsin are changing
color. Mornings are foggy. Days
are shorter. Nights are cooler.
The older “ultra-whoopers” summering
in Wisconsin are getting restless. It’s almost time to migrate south
to
their winter homes in Florida.
The target departure date is set for the ultralights
and colts. That is the date when the crew and equipment are all in
place. Each of the potential
migration stopover/host sites has been checked. But weather will be the deciding
factor.
What
kind of weather do they need?
