Color on the Platte River
This post is being re-published from the spring of 2012. I am currently involved with a unique photography project that will take me 1-2 weeks.

Sandhill Cranes Foraging
Today I’m featuring some images of the Sandhill Cranes foraging in the cornfields along the Platte River. The cranes are interesting birds, roosting in the shallow waters of the Platte River (to avoid predation by coyotes), but spend all day in the cornfields where they forage and put on weight for the continued flight back […]
