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.
