The movie is out for rental at "Hollywood Movies". I watched the movie
and the 'making of' part and can't decide which one is better. Awsome
footage!
There is one scene in the 'making of' part, where a couple of geese
fly off the wing tips of an ultra-light. The first goose off the left
wing tip is not flapping it's wings and seems to be flying with a
smaller a.o.a. while keeping up with the ultra-light. (No, it was not
one of the decoys!) I guess it is a good illustration of what is going
on aerodynamically just off the wing tip. One would hope that the wing
tip vortex on a modern glider is less severe.

There is an excellent web site dedicated to the migration of Whopping Cranes
and Canadian Geese www.operationmigration.org .
They make an annual trek across the USA from Canada to Florida to teach
hatchlings the migration habit.

Happy Holidays

I just noticed that the highly praised movie "Winged Migration" will
be aired on STARZ this Saturday, Dec 13 at 8:45 as well as five other
times (once more Sat then twice each on Tues and Wed of the following
week). I've scheduled it to record and thought a number of others
might appreciate knowing of this.

Enjoy.

Well, madam came through and gifted me the 'Winged Migration' DVD (and
coffee-table book!;^) The 'Making of Winged Migration' on the DVD was as
interesting as the feature. We cuddled up and watched both this evening.

PS: Just NE of here in the Pawnee National Grasslands there's a pathway for
something like 182 species of sub-tropical migratory birds.

Speaking of winged migration.
I was in the Denver area Tuesday and it was rotten with sea gulls. Its
a normal migration pattern, but sea gulls and pelicans (in spring) just
seem so odd in Colorado.
