Afternoon birders...Melinda Welton, Steve and I just returned from south
central Nebraska. Below is a short video that will give you a "taste" of what
that area has to offer this time of the year...Lesser Sandhill Cranes in
numbers you've probably never seen before if you've not been out there.
But let me tell you folks, as spectacular as the sheer numbers of Cranes in
Nebraska...a day at Hiwassee in southeast Tennessee can be even more exciting
and spectacular. For at Hiwassee when you can stand on the refuge the
Sandhills literally soar right over head in waves. Coming so close sometimes
you feel like you could just reach out and touch them.
I knew Hiwassee was a unique place but our 2200 mile trip out to the Great
Plains and back just cemented in my heart and mind what a GLORIOUS GIFT
Tennessee's own Sandhill Cranes are for our State.
