NetHeads, It's almost Friday, so maybe this off-topic item will fly. I talked to my father tonight, and he told me the Operation Migration folks left his farm at daybreak this morning, headed for Climax Georgia. These are the guys who fly weight shift trikes and play Mother Goose for Whooping Cranes every year in an effort to reestablish their migratory patterns between Wisconsin and Florida. This is their second year dropping in there, and those who've seen a picture of his grass strip will know why...it's surrounded with 125 acres of lakes with plenty of waterfowl population. See http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/flights/070308132ms.jpg on that. They set up their huge pen at the far end of the grass strip in the middle of the picture, which is where I park my plane when I visit. For more on this year's flight, see http://www.operationmigration.org/Field_Journal.html . "Pike County" is my father's place.
For some reason I've been really interested in hawks and eagles since visiting the Hawk Conservancy in Andover England. I see hawks everywhere now. I went to a meeting in Cambridge Maryland earlier this week, and as I was sitting in the conference room a hawk flew circles outside for about four hours. I don't think I got much else out of the meeting... Mark Langford N56ML "at" hiwaay.net website at http://www.N56ML.com --------------------------------------------------------
