Using satellite telemetry, it is possible to track long-distance migrant birds with high accuracy and greater spatial coverage. However, prior to 2014, less than 1% of bird species in India had been monitored using this technology. Between January and February 2022, we deployed leg-mounted solar GPS/GSM satellite transmitters to Common Cranes and Demoiselle Cranes (two each) to study home ranges, movement, migration patterns, and habitat use. We used 95% kernels to define the total home range size and 50% kernels to delimit the core areas. The winter habitat use was assessed using Generalized Linear Models (GLM). The average home range of Common Cranes and Demoiselle Cranes was estimated as 161.22 ± 172.08 km2 and 971.40 ± 1023.57 km2, respectively. During migration, Common Crane-1 and Common Crane-2 traveled an average of 471.19 ± 442.42 and 176.97 ± 24.82 km per day, and Demoiselle Crane-1 and Demoiselle Crane-2 covered an average daily distance of 168.10 ± 203.77 and 192.97 ± 250.72 km, respectively. Water bodies and croplands were the most important habitat variables influencing crane presence positively. In recent years, the share of food grain crops within the study area has declined from 43% in 1994–1995 to 36% in 2014–2015, while the share of cotton crops has doubled from 11% to 20%, indicating a probable cause of concern in the near future.

Modern data on the migration of the Demoiselle Crane (Anthropoides virgo), nesting in Kazakhstan and adjacent territories in Russia, and the Tibetan Common Crane (Grus grus korelovi), inhabiting the Central Tien Shan in southeastern Kazakhstan, are presented. On the basis of remote tracking, flyways of the Demoiselle Crane have been clarified, and key territories have been identified in the premigration period and on the flyways. The features of the Tibetan common crane migration have been established, and a wintering ground on the Muzart River in China has been identified.

Three Eurasian Cranes Grus grus were successfully satellite tracked during their spring migration north from Gujarat, western India. They used the same migratory flyway across Pakistan and Afghanistan, skirting the Hindukush mountains, during their spring migration north, but their stopover sites differed from each other. The cranes summered at three different locations, which were not too far from the headwaters of Ob River, in western Russia. They covered total migration distances ranging from 3,950 km to 4,786 km. The total number of stopovers ranged from three to eight. This migratory behavior suggests that there are several wetlands along the flyway that are important for these long distant migrants, and conservation of many of these wetlands warrants serious consideration, especially if any of them are under imminent danger of being altered by humans. The wetlands in the breeding areas support thousands of cranes, and it is also in this same region that the last of the breeding grounds of the critically endangered western flock of Siberian Cranes are to be found. This region will be important for the conservation of cranes.
