Sandhill Cranes featured in Discovery Channel series 'North America'

About a year and half ago a Discovery Channel film crew, who had filmed much of PLANET EARTH, stayed at Dos Cabezas Spirit and Nature Retreat B & B for two weeks to film the Sandhill Cranes for an epic new series, called ‘North America’.

The world premiere of ‘North America’ is Sunday, May 19 on The Discovery Channel. This new series is being hailed as “epic” and “jaw-dropping.”

Those interested can click on the following link to see the trailer - http://on.aol.com/video/discoverys-north-america-exclusive-first-look-517339813. When viewing the trailer, the Sandhill Cranes are about three-quarters of the way through the trailer (at 1:30), a couple of frames after the dolphins, with a great shot of the Dos Cabezas Mountains in the background and an overlay of the words ‘5 Years in the Making.’

Local tourist event - Wings over Willcox

The holidays are over. The New Year has been rung in. Decorations have been put away for another year. After the rush of the past weeks, you’re still in that frantic mode trying to accomplish everything in a micro-second or two. Slow down. Take a break and plan some great activities for the upcoming weeks, be a 'local tourist'.
