There is a DVOC meeting this Thursday night, April 16th. Relive Andy Smith's esperiences with the Sandhill Crane. Bring a guest.

Program – Andy Smith, "Ten Million Years and Still Going: Sandhill Cranes on the Platte River and Elsewhere."

Each year 500,000 Sandhill Cranes or eighty percent of the North American population gather on the Platte River in Nebraska before heading North to breeding grounds. The spectacle of their leaving the river at dawn to go to the surrounding corn fields and returning at dusk is amazing to behold as thousands of birds fill the sky. Millions of waterfowl and at times Whooping Cranes also use the region as a stopping point during migration.
