Sandhill Crane Festival
August 22-24, 2008
Join in the Celebration of Sandhill Cranes and Fall Migration in the
Tanana Valley!
Keynote guest is
John Acorn, The Nature Nut
Each August as thousands of Sandhill Cranes begin their southward passage
from Alaska and Siberia the Tanana Valley rings with gathering calls.
One of the best places to catch this spectacle is at Creamer's Field
Migratory Waterfowl Refuge in the heart of Fairbanks, Alaska where daily
Sandhill Crane tallies regularly top 1,000.. The best time to enjoy
fall staging is late August and early September. Peak time is during
the annual Sandhill Crane Festival sponsored jointly by Friends of Creamer's
Field, Arctic Audubon Society and the Alaska Bird Observatory.
The festival includes talks, bird watching, nature walks, workshops
and many other related activities with ample opportunities for observing
Cranes and other fall migrants. A current year festival schedule is
available in July. The schedule includes information on observing Sandhill
Cranes throughout the Tanana Valley.
