Title: Early migration

TPC, with the juvies flying farther from their nest sites, do you anticipate an earlier than normal (if you can say normal) migration?  ???

Looking at notes from previous years, it looks like the chicks are just doing what they normally do and that their travels right now aren't an indication of an early migration.  Remember, Sandy from Fargo came up to visit us in October for a couple of years so they do travel long distances in all sorts of directions before they finally migrate to wherever they decide to go that year.  Will be interesting to see when they do start to migrate though ... and where to!
