Keep a Migration Journal

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?
