 Nebraska’s best known wildlife viewing opportunity is the spring crane migration along the Platte River, where more than 80% of the world’s sandhill crane population congregates each March. However, incredible bird watching opportunities abound throughout the state. The Rainwater Basin region in southcentral Nebraska supports over 10 million snow geese each spring migration, as well as millions of other waterfowl and shorebirds, including most of the world’s population of Buff-breasted Sandpiper. The Nebraska Sandhills, North America’s largest expanse of unfragmented grassland, is the heart of the range of Greater Prairie-Chicken, which are observed on their leks each April where male chickens dance and boom in a talent competition through which the female chooses her mate.
Members of the Bird Partnership recognized a common desire for both Nebraska residents and visitors to be able to find and take advantage of these diverse and abundant bird watching opportunities. Volunteers formed the Bird Partnership's Birding Trails Workgroup, whose work culminated in the Nebraska Birding Trails website, where users can find opportunities for bird viewing anywhere in the state, anytime of the year.
