More Cranes

Back out near Kearney with the Platte River at the Crossroads conference. We spent most of the day hearing from folks in the know about issues attached to the Platte. The tail end of the day, however, was spent in a blind at the Rowe Sanctuary watching the sun set and the cranes come in to roost. At one point the flock turned back and flew over our blind obscuring the sky and drowning us in their calls. Absolutely incredible. Tomorrow is an early day. We head back to the blind at 5am to see them depart for their feeding areas. So cool.
