[TN-Bird] Cranes at Hiwassee

Thousands of sandhill cranes remain on the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs 
and Rhea counties as of today, Monday, January 3.  There appeared to be fewer 
sandhill cranes than last week near the HWR viewing area at the gazebo. I saw 
one 
immature bald eagle at the HWR. From the nearby Cherokee Removal Memorial Park 
viewing area near dusk, one adult whooping crane was seen, and thousands of 
sandhill cranes flew into the Hiwassee Island area. The Tennessee and Hiwassee 
Rivers are very high due to Saturday's rain. Therefore, exposed mud bar area is 
greatly reduced, so many of the sandhills flew on toward the north end of 
Hiwassee Island.
