Records of the Environmental Protection Agency. 1944 - 2006. DOCUMERICA: The Environmental Protection Agency's Program to Photographically Document Subjects of Environmental Concern. 1972 - 1977. A SOLITARY LESSER SANDHILL CRANE WITH WINGS EXTENDED FLIES ABOVE THE LILLIAN ANNETTE ROWE BIRD SANCTUARY NEAR GRAND ISLAND NEBRASKA. IT IS A MAJOR STOPPING AREA FOR 250,000 OF THESE BIRDS DURING THEIR MIGRATION FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO TO THE YUKON TERRITORY AND SIBERIA. THE SHALLOW AND MARSHY HABITAT OF THE PLATTE RIVER IS WHAT ATTRACTS THE BIRDS. THE AREA IS THREATENED BY A U.S. CORPS OF ENGINEERS PROJECT THAT WOULD DAM AND DREDGE THE RIVER
