Around 4:25 PM today while at the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park in Meigs
County at Birchwood, over 100 American White Pelicans were observed in the
Tennessee River on the Rhea County side of Hiwassee Island. This area is within
the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge. Several hundred other waterfowl were in the same
area, but I could not determine their species from that distance in low light
conditions.
