      The article seems to be free for me (with adblock?). Also, the link does not work.

        You're using Cloudflare DNS, so archive.is refuses you. If you switch to a DNS server that forwards ECS it will work.

    They weren't "missing": GPS-tagged red-footed falcons revealed that they migrate to a tiny communal roost in central Angola (“Falcopolis”) each February–March.

    There, saved you a click (disappointed on National Geographic for that clickbaity headline).

      They were missing. Then they used GPS tags to locate them.

      That’s why the article is titled “ A Million Falcons Went Missing. Here’s How They Were Found”.

      Something was unknown, then we used sensors to solve the mystery. Wild, isn’t it?

      Thank you for summarizing! TIL about the Falcopolis in Angola.
