The time length shrunk the farther north the survey went.
WRT the window of opportunity (lasting longer down South), is the length of time for each location measured for one body of water (seems screwy in light of the CW) or for all the possible ponds/lakes (makes more sense to me - varying conditions = different optimum times in different waters)?
