This is a repeat of the message I sent to the list on January 20. As of
this Sunday morning, the lone whooping crane was still present and in
view from the viewing platform at Hiwassee Refuge. We hope she will
still be there this weekend! Mike

The 13th Annual Cherokee Indian Heritage and Sandhill Crane Viewing
Days will be held at Birchwood, Tennessee on Saturday and Sunday,
February 5 - 6, 2005. Saturday's program is included below.
A brochure for the event is available on the TWRA homepage:

This is an excellent opportunity to view the thousands of sandhill
cranes at TWRA's Hiwassee Wildlife Management Area and possibly even
catch a glimpse of a whooping crane that has remained at the refuge.
Exhibits and vendors will be present at the event with information about
Cherokee Indian Heritage as well as cranes and other birds.
