I just had a belated report of seven (3 ad.,4 imm.) Sandhill Cranes in
the Ellensburg area on Sunday, August 23. Did anyone else see those
birds?

For those of you interested, the Second Annual Sandhill Crane Festival
will be in Othello on March 27, 1999. Hope to start the planning
meetings this month. Should be a few semi-organized field trips on
Sunday morning the 28th to shrub steppe areas. Let me know what you
would like to see for field trips other than viewing cranes, and we'll
try to fit them into the schedule. Randy Hill, Othello.
