Description
The Sandhill Crane Migration is a very popular annual attraction in Central Nebraska
-- for the hundreds of thousands of Migrating Cranes
-- and also their many viewers who come from all over the world to the Nebraska Platte River area to watch the event.
An estimated 500,000 Sandhill Cranes pass thru the Nebraska Platte River valley heading north every year during the Annual Spring Migration and headed south during the Fall Sandhill Crane Migration. They migrate through an 80 mile wide "Flyway" stretch along the Platte River from near Grand Island to west of Kearney, NE. It is estimated that about 80% of the world's population of Sandhill Cranes do an annual migration layover in this area of the Platte River. The Platte Valley area has great habitat for many types of birds - even bald eagles.
