Nebraskaland

DECEMBER 2014 • NEBRASKAland 19 ABOVE: A pair of beavers wrestle outside their den on an island in the Platte River owned by the Crane Trust south of Alda. They emerged minutes after I captured the only photo of a river otter I was able to get while working on the story that appeared in the October 2014 edition of NEBRASKAland. RIGHT: Wild grape vines dip into the water of a Platte River slough. OPPOSITE: A belted kingfisher perches on a shrub next to a Platte River sandpit.
