I took a quick trip today (2/15) to Hiwassee and Kingston Power Plant. At 
Hiwassee my wife and I saw at least 2-3000 cranes (Amazing!) but no whooper. 
:>(  
Also saw 2 redheads, 6 bufflehead, one dc cormorant and a dozen or so 
ring-billed gulls.  About 1/2 dozen savannah sparrows were bathing in a puddle 
near 
the cranes.  At Kingston, I only had about 15-20 minutes and saw little other 
than a breedong colony of great blue herons.....I would guess, from my 
distance, about 20 adults.    John Moyle  Kingsport

P.S.  Had a short-eared owl in my yard and adjacent fields in the rain on 
Monday.
