On this narrow stretch of the Platte River 600,000 Sandhill Cranes stop on there trip to the nesting grounds in the Arctic wilderness. It's more than 80% of the world's population. It is truly one of nature's wonders. We are fortunate to lead tours in the morning and evening as they seek shelter from predators on the sandbars and shallow waters after feeding all day on the waste corn in the many fields of the area. I could write pages and pages, but the above photo says it all.
It was taken a block from where Sandra and I are staying. It's a great visual thing, but the auditory experience is unbelieveable!
