A WHOOPING CRANE was observed at the Armstrong Bend area of the Hiwassee 
Wildlife Refuge in Meigs Co. north of Chattanooga at 8 a.m. today (11/9).  The 
bird was  seen by Orabelle Campbell.  This information was telephone to me at 9 
a.m. by Ken Dubke of Chattanooga.
This may be the first Wooping Crane observed this fall in Tennessee.

The location is on the north side of the Hiwassee River.  

As many as 50 Sandhill Cranes are present but birds have been coming and going.

Yesterday Campbell saw an immature Golden Eagle flying up the river.

Let's go birding.....
