We just got back from a trip to Nebraska to see the Sandhill Cranes on the Platte River. I made a couple videos. The weather was pretty dismal, rain, fog, cold, etc. Here are links to two videos, the first is of cranes dancing:

It shows a very tiny per centage or the actual number of cranes present. There were several thousand cranes in the river at this location. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqVyUuWxbUM <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqVyUuWxbUM&feature=plcp&context=C42b6b09VDv jVQa1PpcFPIv4jnB9ahvzTw0BsnjCTGuAQNCQd2tMg%3D> &feature=plcp&context=C42b6b09VDvjVQa1PpcFPIv4jnB9ahvzTw0BsnjCTGuAQNCQd2tMg% 3D Even though the weather didn't cooperate, it was still wonderful to see and hear some of the half million cranes that stop in Nebraska each spring. These videos are public so you don't need to have a You Tube account to view them.
