Field notes from North Platte, Nebraska bird migration on central flyway.
A journey with my loved friend along the Platte River, where the birds come up. I've always known the birds migrate, but I had no idea how important these rivers are to their existence. Stay wide river...the birds need you. To experience the migration is something entirely different. My heart stops when the birds lift.
