In a Wednesday, March 14, 2012 photo, as morning lights begins to fill the sky, Sandhill cranes preen and oil their feathers near The Crane Trust, which is close to Wood River, Neb. The Platte River is an ideal stopping point for the cranes because the water is shallow with many sandbars. (AP Photo/The Omaha World-Herald/Alyssa Schukar) MAGS OUT TV OUT
