Speaker Series: "Cranes After Dark" with Kylee Warren
Join Crane Trust's Virtual Producer Kylee Warren and spend the evening on the river with Sandhill Cranes during migration. You might see tens of thousands of cranes fill the opalescent skies and congregate on golden-lit sandbars as the sun dips beneath the Platte River horizon. Stay well after the light is gone, and you'll hear these birds' calls, cries, and purrs most of the night. What do they get up to, and what keeps them alert throughout the evening? Thanks to infrared technology in Crane Trust Virtual Wildlife Cameras, we can now see the nightlife of these birds and learn more about their behavior.
Cranes After Dark explores the nightlife of these cranes as they stage on the Platte River during their annual migrations. Join us as we observe archived footage of crane behavior from these cameras and explore what we know about the affairs of Cranes After Dark.
