"Cause and Effect
Thousands of sandhill cranes over the Platte River in Nebraska last week. They were driven into the sky by the bald eagle that landed on one of their sandbars. This is a wider angle shot, but you can clearly see the eagle below the cranes. There were a pair of bald eagles in the area, one of whom was dining on a crane carcass up river from this shot.

Cranes on the Platte River 🥰 10/10 would go see them again; a very hyped experience that turned out to be not overhyped in any way. #sandhillcranes #sandhillcrane #birds #nebraska #kearney #platteriver

it's an absolutely gorgeous day in the mid columbia basin so we've been outside hiking, birds everywhere, hoping to go see sandhill cranes as the migration is on. #birding #sandhillcranes

The majestic sandhill cranes are starting their migration over our neighborhood, flying at astonishingly high altitudes. Only one person I know (and admire!) who would get on the phone to the Nashville control tower to insist that they keep their damn airplanes away from our beloved birds. Tell ‘em, Anne! 😄👍💥

Sandhill Cranes dancing in a harvested field along the roadside. They were amazing to watch in the golden light of the setting sun. Western PA 9-18-25 #birds #sandhillcranes #photography #wildlife #nature #nikon

Here are two endemic #SandhillCranes that nest in our area. They do not migrate with their northern kin and are slightly smaller. At one point I was about ten feed away from them. 🙂
