The Rowe Sanctuary in south-central Nebraska has activated its crane cam so people can watch some of the thousands of sandhill cranes pausing on their way north to breeding grounds.
The Web-based video site can be found on the sanctuary Web site, www.rowesanctuary.org, which can be accessed through the link below.
The birds stop along an 80-mile stretch of the Platte River for three to four weeks in the spring.
Experts say the birds take advantage of the scattered corn and insect-rich cow waste in the adjacent fields, building reserves of energy for their migration. Each year they fly from their winter grounds in the southern United States and Mexico to northern Alaska, Canada and Siberia, where they spend the summer.
The Rowe Sanctuary is owned and managed by the National Audubon Society.

Wow this view is really awesome. What a pity that I am late to watch it now. Sandhill cranes are really beautiful, moreover in the spring time. It is amazing how much web application development had raised up lately, isn't it? Webcams can be integrated almost everywhere now. I have seen a BBC movie called "life" and there scientists were integrating those webcams under the feet of elephants, near the growing flowers for few months and so on. Those cams let us to see those things that we would be never able to see with our own eyes. I am really happy that I'm living in this age of modern technologies. Oh and I can't even imagine what we will be able to live through after 10-20 years. Maybe cars will fly and robots will do our cooking? Let's wait and we'll see. Thanks for the article and link by the way.
