Call to reserve!
We are based out of Ravenna, NE. Which is situated about a half hour drive north of Kearney and about a half hour west of Grand Island making us a short trip from Rowe Sanctuary and/or the Crane Trust!
March and April are prime months to come to central Nebraska for bird watching! Not only are the prairie chickens booming but, sandhill cranes as well as whooping cranes can be seen within a half hour drive from us making us an ideal stop as you can visit Rowe Sanctuary and the Crane Trust in the same day!! Our guide is a local wildlife biologist who can explain behaviors, preferred habitats and is very familiar with the area and where you can find good views of all these birds.
