Part of Big Valley area is again closed to protect breeding sandhill cranes
There are only about 40 breeding pairs of sandhill cranes in Washington, and one of those pairs has found suitable nesting habitat at the Big Valley Wildlife Area near Mazama for four years in a row, successfully fledging three offspring. To protect the birds, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is closing part of the Big Valley area through the end of September.
