Saturday, January 5 - Sandhill Cranes at Hiwassee Refuge
NTOS will have a field trip this Saturday to enjoy the Sandhill Cranes that
winter each year at Hiwassee Refuge, just northeast of Chattanooga. We will
spend the day in the area observing the cranes, along with a great assortment
of waterfowl (four species of goose have been seen there this week),
raptors, and a possibility of a few Whooping Cranes. Chattanooga TOS member
and
field trip chairman Clyde Blum will guide us, and perhaps some other CTOS
members will join in. We first plan to visit Standifer Gap Marsh and the
Chickamauga Dam area for more waterfowl, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Peregrine
Falcon, and
anything else that has turned up on their recent Audubon Christmas counts.
We will be gone most of the day, so bring a lunch, your scope, and a
radio/cell phone if you have one. Meet at the lower parking lot of the
Adventure
Science Center (800 Fort Negley Blvd. 37203) at 7:00 AM to carpool.
