I recently visited Nebraska to photograph the migration of the sandhill cranes. This is one of the largest migrations on the planet and is a real spectacle of nature. While I was there, approximately 450,000 cranes were in the area. Here are a dozen photographs that I captured during my time along the Platte River:
1- I witnessed this spectacular sunset during my first night on the river.
2- The sandhill cranes can often be observed "dancing".
3- In the morning the cranes leave the river and fly to the cornfields to feed.
4- Cranes in the cornfield
5- I very much enjoyed viewing the flying formations

7- I was fortunate to be there with some interesting cloud formations and colors to serve as an interesting background.

12- This was one of the more spectacular sunsets I've ever witnessed. The colorful light wrapped itself around the various sandbars in the Platte River. In the interest is full disclosure, I captured a photograph of the cranes and the landscape separately--this is a composite picture.
I saw them from a distance in grand Teton national park.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

Very cool. I'm happy all the Monsanto residue in NE hasn't wiped them out.*
