EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph by Randy Olson, sandhill cranes make their way to roost in the shallows of the Platte River in Nebraska. This breathtaking scene is a testament to the annual spectacle that unfolds in the central Platte River valley, where up to 600,000 of these magnificent birds gather. These cranes, representing 80% of the world's population, travel from their Arctic and subarctic nesting grounds to feast on waste grain in the empty cornfields, preparing for their long journey back north. Sandhill cranes, one of the oldest living birds and among the most successful life-forms on the planet, have outlived millions of other species (99% of which are now extinct). Their presence in this part of the Great Plains is a testament to the region's unique ecosystem and the critical role the Platte River plays in the lives of these birds. The Platte River, a vital source of water for these cranes, is fed by the High Plains Aquifer, the largest freshwater aquifer in the world. The river's surface, which reflects the setting sun during twilight hours, creates a stunning backdrop for the cranes as they settle in for the night. This photograph, taken in the heart of the Midwestern United States, showcases the beauty and importance of wildlife in their natural habitat. The large group of cranes, with their distinctive red crowns and blue eyes, are a sight to behold as they fly in unison, creating a mesmerizing scene that captures the essence of the natural world.
