Photos from my 2009 trip to Rowe Sanctuary, MN to Spend a night with 10000 cranes!!! I met up with some other photographers and spent two nights in a photo blind. Each year during March and April, over 500,000 sandhill cranes stop along the Platte River to rest and refuel on their long migration. The sanctuary allows photographers to reserve the blinds and be right in the midst of cranes as they roost on the river.
