Whooping Cranes Learned to Migrate by Following Costumed Pilots

Hacker News | positive | Published: 02:21 Oct 09, 2026 (Eastern)

Between 2001 and 2015, Operation Migration used pilots dressed in white costumes and ultralight aircraft to lead captive-raised whooping cranes on a 1,200-mile migration route from Wisconsin to Florida. The method successfully taught the birds the migration route, and the surviving cranes flew back to Wisconsin independently. However, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ended support for the program in January 2016 because the costume-raised cranes struggled to raise chicks successfully, leading to poor breeding results in the eastern flock. While Operation Migration dissolved in 2018, the eastern flock continues to exist today with roughly 63 birds, and the total global population of whooping cranes is approximately 830.

Ring’s new smart lock has a manual fallback that can’t lock you out – how it works

ZD Net | neutral | Published: 04:15 Oct 10, 2026 (Eastern)

Ring has announced its first-ever smart lock, scheduled to launch in early 2027 for $250 in black, silver, and brass finishes. The device features a manual power dial that generates electricity when turned, allowing users to temporarily power the lock and enter a PIN or fingerprint in the event of a dead battery. In addition to the manual power dial, the smart lock supports unlocking via fingerprint scanner, a keypad for PIN codes, the Ring app, and Alexa commands. It uses a rechargeable Quick Release Ultra battery pack and lacks a physical key backup. Certain details, such as battery life estimates, Matter compatibility, third-party integrations, and the exact number of turns required for the power dial, remain unknown.
