[TN-Bird] Meigs Co. Whooper update

I've been out of the area most of the day.  The Whooping cranes did not leave 
Hiwassee Refuge in Meigs County Tuesday 11-19 because of early morning rain 
and fog.  I do suspect they will leave Wednesday morning once the fog burns 
off.

If you didn't read the report by Heather Ray of Operation Migration on 11/19 
you are in for a surprise!   Most of us were aware that crane # 6, a male, 
from the Class of 2001 has started it's migration.  Hundreds of people were 
on hand this past week-end at Jasker-Pulaski  fish and wildlife area in 
Indiana to observe this bird. Now for the surprise:  Lara Fondow a tracker 
for ICF has received a radio signal for # 6.  He is now in MEIGS COUNTY, 
TENNESSEE.  Heather reports he is only a stones throw away from where she and 
the team are being held up by weather.

If you go to Hiwassee Wednesday morning keep your eyes and ears open.  You 
just might see one more crane than you expected!   ('~' )
