Join us for crane viewing at Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in Indiana this fall! It is an amazing place to view thousands of Sandhill Cranes – you might see a Whooping Crane too! We will be at the viewing platforms Oct. 20, 21, 27 and 28 from around 5 p.m. to dark. Bring binoculars, a scope and a camera if you have them. If not, you’ll still have a great time viewing and listening to the cranes!
