Pic of the Day

Sandhill Cranes, Grus canadensis: Gliding over the Platte River; Kearney, Nebraska

     Spring Migration on the Platte River in late March.  A wonderful place to see thousands and thousands of Sandhill Cranes.  I especially love the early morning liftoff and when they return to their river roost at evening.
