Every Fall, thousands of Sandhill Cranes arrive in the California Delta, ready to spend their Winters vacationing near Lodi. For over 20 years, the Sandhill Crane Festival has celebrated the ancient birds’ arrival, along with the wildlife and natural beauty of Lodi. This river-rich basin, coupled with marshes teeming with life, is home to hundreds of species of birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and fish.

With heights of up to 4 feet tall and a wingspan ranging 6 to 8 feet, these birds are quite spectacular to see!
