Platte River Sunset The Platte River in central Nebraska, during late February, March, and Early April, provides us with a unique opportunity to experience Sandhill Cranes by the thousands. This image was captured near one of the bridges crossing the river just after sunset. The black dots in the sky are Sandhill Cranes coming to roost for the night on the swallow sand bars of the river where they can hear predators before they get too close. And, the landscape images can also be stunning like this Platte River Sunset.
