Description
Our last evening on The Platte brought Sandhill Cranes to the river earlier than previous days. Perhaps the afternoon's cold blustery wind encouraged them to roost sooner. Perhaps the arrival of 61,000 more cranes that week encouraged birds to swoop in before choice river spots were filled. Regardless the reason, their landing in smaller groups over the final hour of daylight ruled out the dramatic arrival of huge swarms of cranes which previous sunsets brought. So with roosting cranes already silhouetted in river shallows, this evening it was the setting sun who brought drama to the skies and waters of the Platte River Valley.
