Omaha.com - Weather no picnic for cranes

With crane migration season ready to begin, the Platte River is frozen, with little roosting area for the birds to come back to after a day of feeding in area cornfields.

Most of the Platte in the area is entirely frozen over, said Dan Glomski, program coordinator at the Nebraska Nature and Visitor Center in Alda.

“Cranes will roost on ice if they have to, but they would prefer to have running water around them,” Glomski said. “That is one of their forms of protection at night. It helps protect them from predators like coyotes because they can hear the coyotes splashing through the water.”

The cold weather and frozen river are “definitely slowing down the migration, and we can see that,” Glomski said.

DiMare Farms, the largest grower in Homestead, is picking between 10 percent and 20 percent of its normal volumes, said Paul DiMare. "We’re probably as light as we’ve ever seen," said DiMare, who only recalls a similar drop in the late 1970s after it snowed in South Florida.

Michael Borek, who lost about half the crop at his Redland farm to this year’s freeze, has also watched his yields drop another 50 percent.
