CALL OF THE CRANES

SANDHILL CRANE MIGRATION IN KEARNEY, NEBRASKA

 

LEADER:  ALISON HOLLORAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AUDUBON ROCKIES

MARCH 24-MARCH 26.  LIMITED TO 20

Join us to witness and be awed by the mass migration of over 600,000 magnificent Sandhill Cranes.  We have reserved a private blind for our group at the Lillian Rowe Sanctuary on the Platte River in Kearney, NE for Friday morning, at the very height of this iconic bird's passage through their primary staging grounds.  With some luck, we will also find one or more of the 300 Whooping Cranes that also migrate through Nebraska.

On Friday morning, we will make our way in the dark to the blind for an intimate early morning viewing of thousands of Cranes as they leave the Platte River to forage for the day.  Afterwards, we will retreat to our hotel for a hot gourmet breakfast provided by BCAS, a quick rest and then a tour of the Kearney area where as many as 10,000,000 waterfowl of different species, resplendent in their breeding plumages blanket the surrounding ponds and lakes.  Huge flocks of Snow Geese are regularly flushed into a panic by the abundant Bald Eagles.  Wild Turkey are common as are several owl species and we will almost certainly hear the "peenting" call of the American Woodcock.   

Alison's graduate and professional field work has been steeped in the life of the prairie and sage landscapes.  She is a superb birder and a consummate activist.  The base price of $90 includes a gourmet breakfast on Friday morning, blind fees and a donation to Boulder County Audubon.   We will be carpooling from Boulder and staying at the Rodeway Inn in Kearney.  Single king beds are about $75+tax, two queen beds are $71+tax.  I have a block of rooms being held, so the final price will be calculated on whether or not you are sharing a room.
