Valentines Day is over and the Sandhill Cranes should be arriving any time now, anyone seen any yet? Â They should peak about 1 Month from today, which just happens to be the day Coyote and I will be out there.

I have heard and seen a couple too. Last year was my first year taking pictures/following with these cranes as i was lucky enough to tag along with a photographer friend of mine. Â Candle shoe you were right, the blinds at nebraska nature center is up on a hill and though it was nice when it was bright it was worthless once it starts to get dark. Â I'll be going to Rowe this year for sure
Suit Up
Nice Shots Mark! Â You must not have been too tired after that drive.

Thanks,bbtran72 wrote:awesome pictures brad, I've only been out once on that nice day on friday 2 weeks ago but didn't get much. Where did you see that Whooping Crane ?
The whooping crane was South West of Doniphin, NE. Â This is the Third year in a row we have seen one down there. Â Usually close to the Adams county line and several miles west of highway 34. Â There is usually a spotter in the area watching them.

The whooping crane is one of the rarest bird species in North America. It stands nearly 5 feet tall and has a wingspan of up to 7 feet.
Anyone spotting a whooping crane is asked to call the Crane Trust at 1-888-399-2824 to report key information: exact location of the cranes; number of cranes; time and date the cranes were observed; what the cranes were doing (feeding, resting or flying); if leg bands/transmitters were visible; if flying, in which direction.
The whooping cranes are protected under the Endangered Species Act.
