Every year the natural phenomenon of the Sandhill Crane migration takes place in Central Nebraska. It is also the time when the Museum of Nebraska Art showcases works featuring these impressive birds. Spanning over 150 years from John J. Audubon’s engravings to Michael Forsberg’s photography, artists have used different media to record the crane.
