Fun Friday: Ring Around the Collar, the Natural Way
My first day (yesterday) of photographing the migrating Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) along the Platte River in Nebraska was a rather unusual day.

A Whooping Good Time
As previously noted, I was very pleasantly surprised to find a single Whooping Crane (Grus americanus) along the Platte River. The Whooping Crane is a very rare and endangered bird, numbering less than 300. Through extensive conservation efforts, their numbers are rebounding (although very slowly) from their all-time low of less than 50 birds back […]

In today’s post, I am sharing some images of the Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) as they return to the Platte River for roosting … and in one […]
