Spring Migration


      The fascinating Sandhill Crane Spring Migration happens late February to early April. More that 80 percent of the world's Sandhill Crane population converge on the North Platte River. They are flying from their southern wintering grounds to northern breeding grounds in Canada, Alaska, and Siberia. They stop along the Platte River to rest and gain weight as they prepare for the rest of the journey. This year's estimate rounded to about four-hundred and sixty thousand birds. It is an amazing sight and experience to witness the sound and beauty of these birds,as well as, be a part of the beautiful sunrise and sunsets along the Platte River. All of this is an enchanting sight and reinforces the truly diverse and beautiful creation we are so blessed to observe and be a part of.

Time to Dry


                    A turkey buzzard drying wings on a warm summer morning. Not the most beautiful bird, but very interesting. Archived picture from last summer. There were at least fifty to seventy-five of these birds air drying on top of very high electrical poles. Turkey Vultures are nature's clean up crew.
