We think whooping cranes learn their route by landmarks. They must have exccellent eyesight and
they use it to recognize landmarks. This way, when they return on that same route, they know where
to go. Learning unfamiliar territories is not a problem because eyesight helps them track their route
and they get back safely. We think that the 3 cranes, #105, #204, #412, stay together because they
guide amd follow each other. Whooping cranes travel together so if one gets hurt they get support
from the others.
