For 6 weeks, late February to early April, something magical happens in the heart of Nebraska. More than 80 percent of the world’s population of Sandhill Cranes converges on Nebraska’s Platte River. The Sandhill Cranes travel from southern wintering grounds to northern breeding grounds in Canada, Alaska and Siberia. They stop along the Platte to rest and gain body fat for a month as they prepare for their journey. Fossils of wing bones dating back nine million years have been discovered in Nebraska. Whooping Cranes, eagles, ducks & geese, and shorebirds are among the other wildlife that migrates through Central Nebraska during February and March. It’s an amazing sight and one that can only be truly appreciated in person. Call 800-652-9435 for an annual crane packet. The easiest way to set up your crane viewing experience is to contact the Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary or visit the Fort Kearny Recreational Area Hike/Bike Bridge at either sunrise or sunset. The bridge is 300 yards from the parking area and offers a great view of the river.
