More than a million sandhill cranes fly through Nebraska every year, many of them stopping at the National Audubon Society’s Rowe Sanctuary in March and April. They settle on the Platte River at sunset making even the most casual observers scramble for their cameras. They also make a lot of noise and I‘ll be sharing some of my recordings from a trip I took to the sanctuary last week.
