1:04:00
We can start new flocks...
1:04:03
...and give them a crack
at a comeback, you know?
1:04:12
Do you really think
you can pull this off?
1:04:14
Yes, sir. All we really needed
was a place like this.
1:04:18
Well, of course, there is a catch.
It's right over there.
1:04:22
These 300 acres are all that's left
of what used to be thousands.
1:04:27
In the '30s, the government set this
aside as a wild bird refuge.
1:04:30
But with fewer birds wintering here,
it's been encroached on.
1:04:35
Some people have made a lot of money.
1:04:37
If no wild birds show up
by November 1st...
1:04:40
...these chaps are
just itching to take over.
1:04:43
November 1st? Really?
1:04:45
So if we're here by then, it's ours?
1:04:48
No, not actually yours.
1:04:50
- The birds'.
- Right.
1:04:53
It's perfect!
1:04:57
I sure hope you're right. I don't
want to find out I'm in trouble...
1:05:02
This spot that we found, it's perfect!
It's just perfect.
1:05:06
- But we don't have that long.
- Can you land there?
1:05:09
- Perfectly.
- Okay.
1:05:10
Good, flat surface right near.
1:05:12
- Stop moving back. I'm pushing.
- I felt that.
1:05:16
Squeeze it down a little bit.
1:05:18
Not so it hurts.
Well, it'll move back and forth.
1:05:22
Let's see how it looks.
Get your finger out of your nose.
1:05:29
Nice move, Tom. Very good.
1:05:32
The journey will take
four days of good weather.
1:05:35
Thirty nautical miles
to Lake Ontario.
1:05:37
Then 30 more across the lake
to the U.S. of A.
1:05:40
Now 65 miles further on
is rendezvous number one...
1:05:43
... at a farm outside
Franklinville, NY.
1:05:46
Day two, we're going to Pennsylvania.
1:05:48
Across the Appalachian Mountains,
120 miles to rendezvous number two.
1:05:53
On day three, we fly over Maryland,
east of Baltimore.
1:05:56
Then south across the Potomac
to the lowlands of Virginia.
1:05:59
On day four, we go along Chesapeake
Bay to the town of New Hope.
