Birds of Nebraska: Their Distribution & Temporal Occurrence

By Roger S. Sharpe, W. Ross Silcock, Joel G. Jorgensen

Nebraska sits at the nexus of continental bird migration and serves as a home-either permanently or seasonally - for nearly 450 species. Major migratory routes pass through the state, creating numerous opportunities to observe the great variety of North American bird species. The annual crane migrations in spring are legendary, and other key events include winter concentrations of bald eagles, flocks of up to thirty thousand grebes, mergansers, and gulls at Lake McConaughy in late fall, and incredible concentrations of waterfowl in the Rainwater Basin in early spring.
