Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary features one of the most intimate and stunning views of the Sandhill Crane migration that occurs along the Platte River in Nebraska.
Thanks to our partnership with explore.org, nature-lovers all over the world can watch breathtaking moments like the morning lift-off where tens of thousands of Sandhill Cranes rise up like an enormous cloud or their peaceful return to the river’s shallow sandbars each evening silhouetted by the setting sun.
Cranes are among the oldest living birds on the planet and research suggests that migration has likely taken Sandhill Cranes across this region for many thousands, if not millions, of years. This spring, take part in appreciating this ancient and majestic display of birdlife from the comfort of home. |
