Photo Operation Migration

One Thing at a Time
A costumed expert travels with the chicks from Maryland to Wisconsin. He or she goes with them to the training strip. The chicks see that the costume is the same. The trike is the same. Robo-crane is the same. Only the location is different.

Next, pilots add the wing to the trike. The chicks get time to adjust to each new change so they aren’t afraid.

In years with many chicks, the oldest cohort
(age group) arrives first. Younger chicks come later, after growing more.
