I would just like to add my thanks to all the people that worked on this
issue, sent in comments to TWRA and the commissioners, gave presentations or
just showed up at the meetings yesterday and today. It was definitely a
group effort, but special thanks goes to Melinda Welton, who got the ball
rolling, did all the crane research, kept everybody informed through tn-bird
and TOS newsletters and at TOS meetings, met with commissioners here and at
Hiwassee Refuge during the crane festival, and gave a great presentation
at the wildlife committee meeting yesterday. THANK YOU, Melinda!
Of course we would have liked a definite vote of no hunting, but at least
they voted for a postponement instead of voting for the hunt. Let's heed
Cyndi's message below, and keep up the good work.

According to the update in the article above the FULL Commission voted
this morning to accept the recommendation of the Wildlife Committee's vote
yesterday and postpone decision on the Proposed Sandhill Crane Hunt for 2
years!!!
The work has only begun folks...we need to find a way to utilize these
magnificent creatures FOR Tennessee and show the world that they are a
valuable part of the eco-system her in our State as well as a wonderful
watchable
opportunity all while protecting them so they continue to flourish!!
Happy birding,
Cyndi Routledge =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER=====================
