We saw this migrating flock of shorebirds in a farm field just south of Soap Lake on highway 17 as we returned from the Sandhill Crane Festival. They were all foraging or resting.

Sandhill Cranes at the Othello Sandhill Crane Festival
Sandhill Cranes migrate through central Washington each Spring and Fall. Large numbers congregate along the Royal Slope area, feeding on spent corn in the irrigated ag fields. The small community of Othello celebrates these magnificent birds with a festival each March.

An old abandoned ranch in the Methow
This ranch was sold to the state for mule deer habitat and now the old buildings and fences and farm fields are deteriorating and going away.

An organizer
Pine needles caught up in chicken wire
An old heater
It says something about not allowing it to freeze
I love this door
It's for you
What is solubor?
Don't forget to wash your hands

Early Spring Walk
We walked in the hills above the Methow with our dogs and friends from near and far one day last week. We saw the early Buttercups - the first wildflowers of the year for me - and explored an abandoned house.
