alt Hacker NewsThey 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.

I don't think there's a single name brand from "before internet" that has survived without turning into a clickbait chaser of ad revenue above all else.
The term for this is "late stage capitalism".
Is this actually clickbait? The title is in the form of many clickbait title, but I'd argue it delivers; the article is more interesting than the title.
I suggest readers spend the click and the five minutes.
