Come Crane Watching on WOWT 6 Outdoors

On this week’s edition of my Weekly Outdoor Report on Omaha’s WOWT 6 News, we’re heading to Nebraska’s central Platte River valley between Grand Island and Kearney to view the spectacular spring migration stopover of sandhill cranes and other wild fowl. It’s quite an experience! Check out these great photos of the cranes taken by co-worker Katie Stacey of our NE Game and Parks Omaha-Metro Office.

Experience the movement and sounds of the world’s largest gathering of cranes LIVE Thursday night during the WOWT 6 News 6 p.m. CST sportscast with Ross Jernstrom and I. Here’s an audio sample of the crane migration for you to hear:

Remember, if you’re unable to view the live broadcast of the report, video replays of it can be seen soon after the initial cast here at the WOWT 6 Sports Machine. Thanks for watching!
