KY-Birders: If any of you are making the trip to the Knoxville, TN to look for the Sage Thrasher, I would like to mention that a WHOOPING CRANE was reported this morning (Sat. 11/15) just after 8 a.m. at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs County north of Chattanooga. This is just west of I-75 where it crosses the Hiwassee River at the McMinn Co. and Bradley Co. lines. The bird was first seen in the area Thursday at 5:10 p.m. Ken Dubke of Chattannoga reported that he saw it Friday just before sunset. Also a White Pelican is being seen today at the refuge. Let's go birding....
