Crane Sunset

The best place in the world to be in March: The Platte river near Gibbon, Nebraska when the Sandhill cranes migrate. Every evening they fly in – hundreds of thousands – to roost on the sandbars in the shallow river. In the morning, at dawn, they will lift off in unison. It is one of the greatest spectacles, and sounds I’ve witnessed.

    I lived near there for 10 months. I loved the cranes. They were the best part of my horrid 10 months in Nebraska.
