The "Great Crane Festival"

As Charley puts it...  the Sandhill Crane Migration on the Platte River.  It was an amazing experience.




 
After checking out the visitor center, we hit the observation deck to watch them come in to roost on the river.  Pretty sunset!



Charley met a friend - as usual




After he left, she pouted...  as usual!








Spent the next day at the Children's Museum.









Then hit a bridge over the Platte River to watch sunset, night 2.  I tried to get pics of the birds in the sky to give an idea of what it was like.





























We got up before sunrise and hiked out to the bridge the following morning.  Reed was not a happy camper, so Rod allowed me to stay and witness them wake and lift off the river, while he walked a screaming boy around.  :(
