Description
SANDHILL CRANES IN FLIGHT by PRISCILLA BURGERS
An estimated 500,000 Sandhill Cranes pass through the Nebraska Platte River valley heading north every year during the Annual Spring Migration and head south during the Fall Sandhill Crane Migration. They migrate through an 80 mile wide "Flyway" stretch along the Platte River from near Grand Island to west of Kearney, NE. It is estimated that about 80% of the world's population of Sandhill Cranes do an annual migration layover in this area of the Platte River. The Spring migration usually begins on the Platte River in late February, peaks in mid March, and has a mass exodus in mid April. During the Spring migration, cranes stay in the area for several weeks to "fuel up" for the long trip north. The Fall migration usually runs between late September through mid December, with the peak between late October through early November. These stays are typically just an overnight on the Platte River since the cranes are heading south to warmer weather.
