The Hiwassee CBC was held on January 1 with 15 observers reporting 81
species.  That is a lower than average total but on excellent one
considering how difficult the conditions were.  It is the wettest CBC I
have every experienced and I have been doing CBC's since 1985!  I want
to thank everyone who braved the conditions on that very wet day
including some who came from Nashville to experience this count for the
first time.  I am sure they will never forget it!!
 

Highlights included:

4 - Snow Goose

1 - Great Egret (now an annual species)

15 - Bald Eagles

12304 - Sandhill Crane

28 - Least Sandpiper (highest number ever for count)

15 - Dunlin

1 - Loggerhead Shrike (difficult anywhere in SE TN)

1 - Fox Sparrow

7 - White-crowned Sparrow (harder and harder to find)

1 - Purple Finch
