Wings Over Willcox is an annual birding and nature festival that celebrates the cranes' annual return to Cochise County. The multi-day festival begins this Thursday, and continues throughout the weekend.
WILLCOX, Ariz. — Sandhill Cranes are hard to miss, if you know where to look: They're tall with an unmistakable song and travel in large flocks around Southeastern Arizona during the region's mild winters.
The festival features a number of free events as part of its four days of birding-related exhibits, lectures and hands-on, kid-friendly activities aimed at educating people not only about Sandhill Cranes, but also other wildlife along the borderlands and birding in general: The natural and cultural history of Sandhill Cranes in southern Arizona dates back at least to the region's early human history:"Petroglyphs of these birds, etched into stones by native people hundreds of years ago, can still be found along the lower Gila River," writes the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
