BIRDING & WILDLIFE VIEWING

Sandhill Crane Migrations: Southbound flights daily! Sandhill cranes are visible and audible in their southern migrations that pass over here. Their flights begin in October or November and continue until Christmas time. Witness the migrations of these magnificent prehistoric birds! Best viewing is from A Big Log Cabin in the Clouds and Blue Prairie Bed & Breakfast.

Northbound, Spring flights begin in late February and continue all through March.

Now that whooping cranes are mixed into the sandhill flocks, whooping crane sightings here are not impossible. How rare is rare? Google whooping cranes.
