Space is still available on New Jersey Audubon’s Platte River Crane Tour scheduled for March 21-27, 2010.  Join leaders Scott Barnes and Linda Mack on this short trip to witness one of America’s great bird migration events. Nebraska’s Platte River hosts one of the most impressive avian spectacles in America.  More than half a million Sandhill Cranes—80% of the world’s population—and hundreds of thousands of waterfowl stop here during spring migration to feed and rest. Experience the cranes moving to and from their evening roosts along the river at the Rowe Nature Center and other vantage points, plus incredible numbers of Snow Geese, Greater White-fronted Geese, and ducks in the Rainwater and Platte River Basins.
