Sand Hill Cranes - Here We Come

I'm excited - we leave for Omaha tomorrow morning. When I called Rowe Sanctuary on Monday, they said they were close to peaking, with 300,000 sand hill cranes there. With a warm southerly wind, the rest of the migrators will be flying in. That's about right, the man on the phone said, we kind of plan on peaking around St. Patrick's Day.

And then they stay for two to three weeks before continuing on north to their breeding grounds.

Even if it rains (which it might) the walk to any of the blinds is only five minutes and the blinds are covered.

Will give a report when I return.
