Yesterday's scouting indicated about 5,000 sandhill cranes in the Othello area. Yesterday had tricolored blackbirds in easy view near the RR tracks on North Broadway in Othello. Today there was a prairie falcon near the Para Ponds.

In case anybody is trying to contact me at work by e-mail, most of the USDI agencies have been shut down again, including FWS. I think only NPS and USGS are still on-line. Any Crane Festival contacts will need to come via this home e-mail address of by phone or fax.
