Driving west from Lincoln to Grand Island, Nebraska, Paul A. Johnsgard remarks, is like driving backward in time. "I suspect," he says, "that the migrating cranes of a pre-ice age period some ten million years ago would fully understand every nuance of the crane conversation going on today along the Platte."
Johnsgard has spent nearly a half century observing cranes, from a yearly foray to Nebraska's Platte River valley to see the spring migration, to pilgrimages to the birds' wintering grounds in Arizona and nesting territory in Alaska. In this book he draws from his own extensive experience as well as the latest science to offer a richly detailed and deeply felt account of the ecology of sandhill and whooping cranes and the wetlands in which they live.
Incorporating current information on changing migration patterns, population trends, and breeding ranges, Johnsgard explains the life cycle of the crane, as well as the significance of these species to our natural world. He also writes frankly of the uncertain future of these majestic birds, as cranes and their habitats face the effects of climate change and increasing human population pressures. Illustrated with the author's own ink drawings and containing a detailed guide to crane-viewing sites in the United States and Canada, this book is at once an invaluable reference and an eloquent testimony to how much these birds truly mean.

Perfect athletic dress!
Color: Black, Size: 9-10 Years
I ordered this athletic dress for my daughter (age 7) and we are both so impressed! The fit is true to size—she typically wears a 10 and the 9/10 fit her perfectly with a little room to grow without looking oversized. The fabric is incredibly soft and lightweight, which makes it super comfortable for all-day wear, especially during warmer weather. It’s stretchy without being clingy, and it washes beautifully—no fading or shrinking so far! What I love most is how flattering the cut is. The built-in shorts underneath give her confidence when she’s running or playing, and the overall design is sporty yet still cute enough to wear out and about. She’s already asked for another color! Highly recommend for active girls who love comfort and style!

So cute and priced well!
Color: Black, Size: 9-10 Years
These were so cute, easy to wear! Especially for parking days. Good to go wherever! My girls loved then! They were just long enough for our preference. The material is the athletic type and fairly thick! No complaints there!

Check size chart
Color: Blue, Size: 9-10 Years
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because sizing is WAY off. I originally ordered the 7/8 for my 5 year old but it was about a size too small. I went back and ordered a 9/10 and it fits almost perfectly with a tiny bit of room to grow. Other than that, the outfits are so cute, functional and easy to clean! Perfect for the girlies who love a good romp but wanna look like a princess while doing it!
