Albatross Wing Proportions Boost Glide Speed
The albatross achieves remarkable speed through elongated wing bones. Its hand is of average length, while the other forearm bones are disproportionately long. The bird carries about 40 secondary feathers in each forearm, enhancing lift and glide efficiency.

Temperatures varied with damage noted locally. Grains greened in winter and early sown crops fared well while late sowing was fair. Grass and pastures browned in late January and greened in late February. Growth improved through March and early April.

Peach and pear trees have begun blooming in the south and are just starting in the north, except in the Allegheny Mountain region.
