Nebraska is know for migration of the Sandhill Cranes in March.  Best places to view them is between Kearney and Grand Island, and from state highway 44 east to Denman Road on the south side of the Platte River.  This area includes Fort Kearney State Historical Park and the Rowe Sanctuary.  You can rent a blind at the Rowe Sanctuary.  Take the hike/bike trail at Fort Kearney to the bridge over the Platte River. . East of the Rowe Sanctuary, on Lowell Road, there is a Crane viewing area on the river.  Also from the crane viewing area east on Elm Island Road, is probably the best area for viewing the cranes feeding in the fields and flying overhead during the day.  Best photo opportunities are early in the morning before the cranes take off for feeding or in the evening when they have returned for the night

Rock Creek State Historical Park located east of Fairbury. This is where Wild Bill Hickok began his gun fighting career in 1861 and when he killed David McCanles. Ruts left by covered wagons traveling on the Oregon Trail are still visible and are best photographed early or late in the day when the sun is low.  Rock Creek Station has been recreated.  There are covered wagons around the log cabins.  There are many acres of wooded areas in the park to hike and photograph.
