THE MIGRATION JOURNEY!



“Praise to the LORD O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.”- Isaiah 25:1

I want to share something that is so very, very precious to my heart! The annual spring migration of thousands of birds has begun. I so love this time of year, because it signals new hope, and renewal in so many ways.

"Crane Cam" at Rowe Sanctuary near Gibbon Ne. for Sand hill Crane viewing. Best time is sunset or sunrise.. You will want to turn up your volume. Web cam operating March 6 through April 10. I have seen eagles, cranes, geese, deer, etc. As you may know, there are approximately 500,000 cranes that use this 80 mile strip of our Platte River for their annual migration.
(also very educational for grand children!)

Just laid first egg 2 days ago. It takes approximately 33 days to hatch. Usually eagles lay 2-3 eggs. Both male and female share the nesting process, and as you may know, eagles and cranes mate for life.
We can learn a lot from them!

Enjoy, and
LOVE TO ALL, Norm
