Every spring, more than 600,000 of North America's largest birds make a migratory pitstop in central Nebraska.
The birds are traveling now, using a path known as the Central Flyway, moving up to their breeding grounds in Alaska, Canada and Siberia. The birds rest on the Platte River Valley's newly-snowless farmland for about three weeks, according to the National Audubon Society
Bird watchers from across thee country also gather to watch the 4-foot tall birds and to witness one of North America's most dramatic migrations.
