Spring Migration Mid February through early April 308-382-1820, CraneTrust.org Each spring, 1,250,000 sandhill cranes
converge on the Platte River in central Nebraska over the course of 8 weeks as they migrate north to their nesting grounds. The Crane Trust documented that a Platte River sandbar on their Hall County, Nebraska, property serves as the largest crane roost in the world during the sandhill cranesʼ spring migration. The peak of the gathering occurs during the middle of March. You might also catch a glimpse of endangered whooping cranes. This one-of-a-kind experience draws visitors — including avid birders, scientists, photographers, and casual tourists — from around the world.
