Nice work on these, Michael. I too didn't realize that Indiana was a popular Crane destination. How long do they stay?

You certainly captured wonderful sandhill crane images, Michael! The background is for sure greener than that at Bosque. That’s quite a decrease in number of sandies this year but it is still early in the season, huh?

Thanks Dave, this group comes through Indiana every year and is part of the Florida migration, while the lager western group heads to northern Mexico. I believe that's the flock that passes through Kearney Nebraska.

Lovely pictures of the sandhill cranes! I have been trying to shoot them for quite some time now, but not happened yet. This location seems to be good.

From I-80 Exit State Route 421 South about 33 miles or 45min drive. They'll be there at the viewing area or start looking in the harvested fields you'll see them flying everywhere
