During the day, sandhill cranes forage for food in wet meadows, prairies, and fields in the Central Platte River Valley. When they come to the Platte River for the night, formation of a roost can look and sound like this, as viewed from a riverfront blind!

Watching sandhill cranes gather along Nebraska’s Platte River feels like a journey back in time. These ancient birds load up on corn kernels from last year’s harvest, preparing for their trip north to breeding grounds in Alaska, Canada, and eastern Siberia. As the sun rises, they take flight, their wings spanning the horizon—thanks to the hard work of the Crane Trust and other conservation organizations. #cranetrust #sandhillcranes #migration #flight | Crane Trust

"Every year, 400,000 to 600,000 sandhill cranes—80 percent of all the cranes on the planet—congregate along an 80-mile stretch of the central Platte River in Nebraska, to fatten up on waste grain in the empty cornfields in preparation for the journey to their Arctic and subarctic nesting grounds. This staging is one of the world's great wildlife spectacles, on a par with the epic migrations of the wildebeest and the caribou." - Smithsonian Magazine If you'd like to see this stunning display in 2

Welcome to another Wild Cam Wednesday! This year, around 35,000 Sandhill Cranes are calling the Platte River their winter home. After weeks of frigid temperatures, the river has become a mosaic of ice and flowing channels. Watch closely as these resilient birds carefully cross the frozen, braided river on their way into the south meadow—sometimes stepping, sometimes gliding, and occasionally slipping along the ice. It’s a fleeting, intimate moment of winter life on the Platte. Wild Cam Wednesday

We teamed up with Laura Farms and her husband, Grant, to disk the Platte River! They were excited to get behind the wheel of a tractor in the river and filmed the whole experience. Check out their fun and informative YouTube video to ride along with Laura and see what river management looks like at the Crane Trust. ❗ Give it a watch with the link in our bio ❗ Why do we disk the Platte? Without management, vegetation can choke the river, making it harder for water to spread and for cranes to find

Maxim Crane on Instagram: "In Nebraska, our team completed a major river crossing—lifting a massive 54-inch water line more than 30 feet up to place it safely beneath the river. Precision, planning, and teamwork were on full display as this complex lift came together seamlessly. Cranes on site included: • Link-Belt TCC2500 Tele-Crawler (250T) • Tadano ATF220G-5 All Terrain (250T) • Grove GMK6400 All Terrain (450T) • Liebherr LTM1200-5.1 All Terrain (240T) • Link-Belt LS298 Crawler (250T) • Liebh

Crane Trust on Instagram: "We protect Platte River habitat for migrating cranes. Each spring, more than a million Sandhill Cranes fill Nebraska’s skies, a migration so vast it transforms the Central Platte River Valley. But it wasn’t always secure. In 1978, the Crane Trust was established through a court-approved settlement over the building of Grayrocks Dam to protect the Whooping Crane’s river habitat under the Endangered Species Act. What began as a legal obligation became a lasting commitmen
