Migrating Sandhill Cranes

coscorrosa · March 22, 2009

These cranes are fattening up on the corn fields near Othello, WA on their way up north to Canada and Alaska to breed. Last Thursday was my first time seeing them in person (and obviously photographing them). Amazing birds!

Here are some of my favorites from the quick trip.
