Rowe Sanctuary Tower
LOOKING Closer
Located at Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary, this camera atop of 35 foot tower provides a bird’s eye view of a braided river channel and shifting sandbars along the central Platte River. Between late February and early April, nearly 500,000 sandhill cranes will use this critical stretch of habitat in the Big Bend reach of south-central Nebraska. The location is one of the largest roosting sites for migrating sandhill cranes during spring migration.
