520 _a"In a ritual as old as time, dawn slips across the horizon along the Platte River. And with those first rays of sunlight comes a thundering, primeval sound deafening, glorious and almost terrifying as islands made up of thousands of sandhill cranes suddenly dissolve in a flutter of wings and haunting calls, and rise and fly to the fields surrounding the Platte. Each year, theirs is a 7,000-mile journey that takes them from their wintering grounds in New Mexico, Texas and northern Mexico to Canada, Alaska and Siberia for the summer." (KNIGHT RIDDER TRIBUNE BUSINESS NEWS) This article describes the annual migration of sandhill cranes that lures thousands of people to Nebraska to see the cranes as they make a stop there on their journey.
