Strong Headwinds

Yes, down again. The hopeful pilots were expecting a tailwind. Instead
it was a strong headwind. The crew will hunker down and spend
the day with e-mails
and other chores. The final stop in Wind-iana. . .

Today's
Question: All
the previous ultra-cranes are radio-tracked on migration.
You know that batteries don't last forever. What do you
think happens when the cranes' batteries are done? After
you think, check the update on crane #203 or her mate,
#317. These
cranes are
now 3 years old and 2 years old. Why
do you think the experts want to keep tracking these whoopers?
