Late on Friday, I visited the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs County.
There were not very many sandhill cranes near the viewing area at that time.
The overall number of sandhill cranes in the area seems to be decreasing,
based upon my
observations. Still later, from the Blythe Ferry Landing in Rhea County, I
noted a significant change of
crane behavior at dusk. At least several hundred abandoned the mud bars on
Hiwassee Island and in the Hiwassee River and chose to spend the night
on a large mud bar that is under the Highway 60 bridge between Meigs and
Rhea counties. Most were on the south end of that mud bar. Therefore,
I'm going to need to search that area for whooping cranes, as well as
the previously mentioned areas. No whooping cranes were seen on this
occasion.
Let me add my great appreciation for Melinda Welton and the many others
who expended so much time and energy on behalf of the eastern sandhill crane
population. Thanks also to the TWR Commissioners who listened to all sides
and made what they considered the best decision for the near future.
