So you would think that will all the information that I had printed off from the internet--such as this Seattle Times article and this information from the Wildlife Refuge, and our collection of maps and guides, locating some 25,000 four foot tall red-headed birds known to be pretty noisy would be a piece of cake. Now really! But the only piece of cake was what I packed for a snack.
So, after fortifying ourselves with a hearty lunch in Othello, we set off down the road toward the wildlife refuge where the cranes were known to be residing.
We saw coulees and pothole lakes and creeks.
We saw this airliner taking off behind the coulee. The airport at Moses Lake is a center for commercial pilot training.
We hiked down into the wetland.
Though it wasn't raining on us (yet) we knew that someone was having rain.
And on we went and back toward Othello in a loop past farmlands of the Mid-Columbia region.

More to follow! Part 2 is here.
