[birdky] Whooping Crane status from Operation Migration
- From: "Roseanna Denton" <roseanna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

- Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:09:08 -0500
Date: November 25, 2007 - Entry 2 Reporter: Liz Condie
Subject: Migration Day 44
Location: Main Office
Distance
Traveled 48.6 miles Washington Cty, KY
Accumulated
Distance 555.5 miles
After a flight of 2 hours, everyone is safely on the ground in
Washington County, KY.
Richard left with 15 birds and Joe coaxed one recalcitrant bird out of
the pen. Six birds dropped off Richard's wing enroute and Joe and Brooke
fought through trashy air to pick them up. Chris said the birds did well as
cranes and planes fought a 12mph headwind all the way.
At one point, one of the birds flying with Joe turned back, but then
turned again to chase Joe but a long way back. Amazingly it eventually
caught up and rejoined the little group.
Bev is still flying with top cover pilot Jack Wrighter looking for
733's signal. Another day of searching is underway.
