Kankakee River Paddle & Crane Viewing - Each fall, all the Sandhill Cranes of the upper Midwest fly south, stopping over at a single preserve in Northwest Indiana for a month of socializing and courtship. We’ll head over to paddle a stretch of the Kankakee River, where we may see some cranes and other migrants, then swing by the Jasper-Pulaski preserve for the sunset spectacle of as many as 15,000 cranes returning from their daily feeding grounds.

Here's a wonderful Pioneer Press " audio slide show" of the trip.
