Birding Destinations

In addition to one-of-a-kind experiences during the great migration of the Sandhill Cranes in Nebraska, the Crane Trust has introduced a new VIP Excursion Program providing guests with unique ways to experience the prairie.

As birds embark on their seasonal migrations, more than 350 different species travel the Pacific Flyway. The Klamath Basin in southern Oregon serves as a rest stop for these travelers, making it a perfect spot for bird watching.

The annual Tennessee Sandhill Crane Festival, to be held on January 19 and 20, is a golden opportunity to view sandhill cranes by the thousands, as well as bald eagles, an occasional whooping crane and other birds with birding and wildlife experts and hundreds of crane enthusiasts. The festival is the premier crane-viewing event in the eastern United States.
