Randy Olson. Sandhill Crane Migration.
Every spring 80% of Lesser Sand Hill Cranes and some Greater Sand Hill Cranes come to the Platte River, and the concentration is higher here than anywhere in the world. The Crane Trust counted 413,000 Sandhill Cranes on this evening-more than they’ve ever counted before, so this image is what it must have looked like millions of years ago.
Randy Olson is a photographer in the documentary tradition. His 30+ National Geographic projects have taken him to almost every continent.
