We made a recent visit to the Iowa/Nebraska area for our grandson's 3rd birthday and decided to do some bird watching with the kids. Our first stop was in the Hastings, Iowa area, but we were too late for the Snow Goose migration, so we headed west to the Hastings, Nebraska area to check on the Sandhill Crane migration. Along the Platte River, near Kearney, Nebraska we started seeing Sandhill Cranes in the fields.
As the day progressed into early evening we started to see more Sandhill Cranes fly in and land.
Soon the sky was full of Sandhill Cranes coming to roost for the night.
Hundreds and thousands of Sandhill Cranes landed in the fields around us. Not a bad day of bird watching.
