The water levels in the slough near the gazebo at
Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs County at Birchwood have dropped quite a bit, 
and there were several
hundred sandhill cranes in the slough this morning. Water levels are still very
high on the river, but a few dozen sandhill cranes managed to find some mud
flat areas on Hiwassee Island, as seen from the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park.
I also saw 4 whooping cranes for sure and probably 5 late today.
