Experience the Wonder of Crane Migration at Crown Point Community Library
On Monday, March 2, at 6:00 p.m., the Crown Point Community Library invites the community to explore one of North America’s most extraordinary wildlife events: the annual crane migration.
Guest speaker Richard Katz, veterinarian and dedicated volunteer at the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary, will present an in-depth look at the migration of more than one million cranes along a 70-mile stretch of the Platte River.
Each spring, Sandhill Cranes converge in Nebraska in breathtaking numbers, creating one of the largest wildlife gatherings on the continent. During this informative program, attendees will learn:
-
Why the Platte River is a critical migration stopover
-
The historical significance of the habitat
-
How conservation efforts have shaped the region
This presentation is ideal for bird watchers, outdoor enthusiasts, conservation supporters, and anyone interested in learning more about large-scale wildlife migration and habitat preservation.
Whether you have witnessed the migration in person or simply admire the natural world, this program offers a compelling look at the science, history, and conservation behind this remarkable phenomenon.
