Some Sandhill cranes are downright playful. It’s not uncommon to find them grabbing stalks and sticks and just tossing them as high into the air as they can….or jump with some object in their mouth and just fling it upward with what appears to be an almost gleeful attitude. I guess in a sense, Nebraska is kind of like a vacation for migrating cranes. Just as we go to the beach and throw a frisbee around, they’ll recreate in a corn field and have a great time.
