What does naturalist Jane Goodall have to say abou

What does naturalist Jane Goodall have to say about the Sandhill Crane migration? Goodall described the Sandhill Crane migration as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, comparing it to events such as the migration of wildebeests in Africa. "I think a lot of people close by have never seen the (crane) spectacle. It's sad," she said. "It's good for the soul." Yes, it is good for the soul!

Make North Platte your destination to experience this incredible migration for yourself in 2020. Get the details online at www.VisitNorthPlatte.com/SpringBirding

We have been adopted by this regal gentleman.

No one has called to claim him. We're making a quick run to the store for some supplies, then he'll be tucked in for the night here at the Visitor Center. Tomorrow we'll run him to the vet to check for a chip.

With his beautiful personality, robust good health, and already neutered, he will make someone a wonderful companion! It appears he is missing a few of his more manly parts, though he still has claws. If the chip doesn't lead to his human, we'll be open to finding him a new home with a properly-vetted new human.

While we would love for him to remain with us, when it gets busy in the summer with 100+ visitors in and out of the doors each day, it wouldn't be safe for him.

This one act stage play tells the story of one of North Platte's greatest attributes: The North Platte Canteen. This play tells the story of a country and its sons, the generosity of the people of North Platte and so many surrounding communities.

During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains en route to their ultimate destinations in Europe and the Pacific. The tiny town, wanting to offer the servicemen warmth and support, transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen.

Every day of the year, every day of the war, the Canteen—staffed and funded entirely by local volunteers—was open from 5:00 a.m. until the last troop train of the day pulled away after midnight. Astonishingly, this remote plains community of only 12,000 people provided welcoming words, friendship, and baskets of food and treats to more than six million GIs by the time the war ended.

This is a heartwarming, American story of a grateful country honoring its brave and dedicated sons.
