点评:This was a first time visit to see the Spring migration of the cranes. The whole experience has been magnificent, from the majestic beauty of the cranes, the stunning views of the Platte river and countryside, and the welcoming spirit of all the staff and volunteers. The morning and evening experiences are of course exceptional. But as "urban dwellers" (from LA and Chicago) the mid-day driving tour added a very special dimension for us. Seeing the cranes in large numbers feeding in the harvested cornfields gave additional insight into their behaviors and habitat needs. And thanks to the humor, wisdom and openness of our local tour guides, we also learned more about the work and lives of the farmers on whom we all depend. Thanks to the driving tour, we leave Nebraska feeling more connected to its people as well as the cranes.
