The third of the cranes in flight is gorgeous. I need to go there next year.


It is a spectacular experience, their calling when coming into the river or leaving is something you will never forget

We went to Kearney Nebraska to witness the Sandhill Crane spring migration last week. It’s really an amazing event to see, with what the biologist said were around 700,000 birds in the valley at that time.

The cranes migrate from the southern wintering grounds into a narrow 60 miles area of the Platte River Valley, to rest and feed up for the long push into the summer breeding area’s of Canada, Alaska, and Siberia. The migration path looks like an hour glass from the South, into the valley of the Platte and widening into the Northern breeding grounds. The migration has been going on in this path for millions of years.

They roost at night on the sandbars of the Platte, and leave around sunrise to go to the feeding grounds in the fields and prairie, returning around sunset to roost on the Platte.
We see and hear them here in our part of Wyoming in the fall migration, but we never see them in the spring.
