Along with hundreds of sandhill cranes, an Asian hooded crane was still present. Most visitors also were able to see from 1-3 endangered whooping cranes. Folks from AL, FL, KY, LA, MI, and TX have been to HWR in the past few days. A University of the South professor brought 2 students from Russia today. A visitor from Ecuador has been there on 2 occasions. Charles Murray Birchwood, TN
