Flying Together
Seirer_170322_1257.jpgFlying Together A pair of Sandhill Cranes fly in close proximity above the Platte River in Nebraska. The birds, with wingspans of 6 feet or more, can fly at 25-35 miles per hour. Their spring migration to breeding grounds as far north as Alaska and Eastern Siberia can cover 5,000 to 7,000 miles. For more than 10,000 years, they have stopped at the Platte to rest and refuel.
