Sandhill Cranes perform a unique dance to attract mates. The male jumps high and the female bows low to show her approval. These birds travel thousands of miles each year from southern Texas to Alaska and Siberia. They stop along Nebraska’s Platte River for a few weeks to rest and eat. Young Sandhill Cranes court their mates. Very loyal, these mates remain together for their lifetime.
