Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge
Meigs Co. at Birchwood

Many flocks of sandhill cranes flew north over Birchwood yesterday. Some of 
them likely spent the night at the HWR because the number of sandhills is MUCH 
larger there at 11 AM today. There may be 2000 or more in the fields visible 
from the gazebo. A great egret is also present, and about one hundred 
ring-necked ducks and redheads are in the slough. A whooping crane was also 
noted.
