Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center Tour

Photos From Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center Tour

Did you know that during the fall, sandhill cranes are hunted in all states and provinces along their migration route except Nebraska?  Or that fossil beds in several parts of Nebraska contain the remains of prehistoric cranes from 10 million years ago?  The library organized a group to visit the Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center (near Alda) on Sunday (3/24).  We listened to a presentation and participated in the Footbridge Evening Tour.  We definitely learned some things that we didn’t already know about sandhill cranes.  In spite of the chilly weather, we had a very enjoyable and educational experience!
Thank-you so much to everyone that participated in the trip with us! Thank-you to Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center for giving us the tour!  Also, a special thank-you to Chuck Griffith (from the Merrick Foundation) for driving us in the mini-bus! 🙂
