In Sandhill Cranes: Migration and the Platte DVD, Lowell Wilder, videographer from Kansas, shares scenes from the Platte River and the nearby fields and wet meadows during the annual Sandhill Crane migration in Nebraska. Watch the cranes as they gleefully dance in the fields, soar in magnificent flight and gracefully land in the shallows of the Platte River. See how these magnificent creatures spend their time here, what they eat and how they communicate through dance, vocalizations and movements. Learn about their predators and other dangers they encounter during their stay. Share Lowell's experience in a photo blind at Audubon's Rowe Sanctuary as he is immersed in America's greatest migration.

Sandhills Serenade by Stephen R. Jones and Shelley Schlender is a unique CD featuring the sounds of nature. Covering more than 20,000 square miles, the Nebraska Sandhills comprise the largest remaining expanse of native prairie in North America. From trumpeting sandhill cranes and booming prairie-chickens in early spring to dramatic thunderstorms and wailing screech-owls in late summer, these recordings capture the wild beauty of this breathtaking landscape. This 48-minute, non-narrated CD is perfect for meditation or relaxation, and a four-page insert helps listeners identify songs of more than 35 native bird species.
