Milder winter weather keeping Sandhill cranes – and millions of dollars – in Nebraska longer
In 2025, nearly 35,000 visitors came to central Nebraska during crane migration season, bringing $28 million in economic impact along with them. While mid-March is the peak of tourism, a crane biologist said any time during migration is a good time to go crane watching.
