One sure sign of spring is the passage of sandhill cranes through Washington state, on their way to breeding grounds to the north. Right now, many of these magnificent birds have congregated in the fields around Othello, WA.
To see them up close, come to the 14th annual Othello Sandhill Crane Festival, March 25-27, 2011! It's a fun weekend full of talks, tours of the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, bike birding, geology, vendors and artists, the WSU Raptor Club, and (of course!) numerous tours to see sandhill cranes and burrowing owls.
For more information, check out their website at www.othellosandhillcranefestival.org, or call 1-866-SANDHIL (1-866-726-3445). Hope to see you there!
