Rowe Sanctuary Live Webcam: Platte River Wildlife & Sandhill Cranes

Live Views of Sandhill Cranes and Platte River Wildlife

Watching this live camera, you can expect to see the ever-changing landscape of the Platte River wetlands, a vital corridor for North American bird migration. The primary focus is often the majestic Sandhill Cranes, especially during their spectacular spring migration from late February to early April, when hundreds of thousands gather here. You might observe them feeding, resting, or performing their elaborate courtship dances.

Beyond the cranes, the sanctuary is home to a diverse array of wetland and grassland species. Keep an eye out for other waterfowl like ducks and geese, various shorebirds, and raptors such as bald eagles soaring overhead or perched in distant trees. The view changes with the time of day and seasons, revealing different behaviors and light.

The camera captures the raw beauty of this protected area, allowing you to connect with nature from anywhere. Observe the weather patterns shifting across the plains, the sunrise painting the sky, or the quiet moments of birds going about their lives. It's a continuous, live feed of one of North America's most significant natural events. 🦅🌾
