This photograph harkens back to a time when the USA had braided streams and plenty of space for the Sand Hill Crane migration.

Volunteers at the Crane Trust counted 413,000 Sandhill Cranes on this evening… more than they’ve ever counted before. These cranes are running out of habitat in most of their migration that goes from Siberia to South America.
