Day of the Sandhill Cranes
The Sandhill Cranes have been migrating along the Pacific Flyway in
western North America for millennia. Each autumn and spring thousands
of cranes can be seen (and heard) as they follow ancient routes in high
altitude "V" formations. While at their winter homes in California's great
Central Valley there is also a daily migration, flying from wetland roosts
where they gather together to safely spend the night to nearby fields to
feed and spend the day. The daily migration brings them back to the
wetlands each evening. This is the day of the Sandhill Cranes.
Ultimately, Day of the Sandhill Cranes will be one piece of a multi-media
puzzle that is under developement. It will include field stereo audio from
the wetlands, detailed Crane visiting tips / maps and other goodies.
Prior to the release of the Hybrid DVD a solo DVD of the film is
available as a fund raiser for Save Our Sandhill Cranes. The DVD is truly
incredible on a home entertainment system. Consider the web
version as a preview. For the maximum experience get the DVD!
This web video is "autoload". Let it load and it will start when it is ready.
After it has played completely through the controls will become active.
Be patient and let it load. At 99.7 mb (web encode of 700 kbps) you
might just go get a cup of coffee while it loads.
Final version premiered on the big screen at the Galt Winter Bird Festival
on 1/17/09. DVDs are now available (see info on the left).
Please forward the link to this page to all who may be interested. The
link may be posted but the video is protected by copyright and lives here.
Thanks to all of you who have helped us bring this project to life. You
know (and the Cranes know) who you are. Thanks. We could not have
done it without you. We look forward to your support as we create our
new Sandhill Crane documentary film.
