Have not seen that in Nebraska. Have gone to Monte Vista, Colorado a few times in the spring to see them there.
In the evening you can watch and hear them coming to the wildlife sanctuary by the hundreds, thousands gather. Also, well before sunrise you can hear them making noises as they prepare for the day.
Watching them come back to the water in the evening and leave in the morning with the snowy mountain backdrop leaves an impression.
Many only go a far as a nearby cornfield that has been harvested. They feed on what the harvesters dropped. That may get added corn for the birds. I watched them dine and do their mating dance for hours.
They can also be seen where they overwinter near Wilcox, Az.
