Some of our visitors today to the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs Co. at 
Birchwood were from Pennsylvania and New York, two states not previously noted 
since the hooded crane arrived. Visitors from 23 states, Ecuador, and 
Russia have now been at the refuge since Tuesday, December 13, when the 
hooded crane was first seen at HWR. At least 62 visitors were at the 
refuge today for a total of at least 616 since December 14 when the presence of 
the hooded crane was posted on this 
list serve. The hooded crane was in view early in the day, 
and it flew across the viewing area very late but did not light. One adult and 
one juvenile 
whooping crane were seen.The number of sandhill cranes appeared to be somewhat 
decreased from yesterday, but there were still at least many hundreds. Two 
pairs of bald eagles were seen on different trees on the far shore of the 
slough. Some visitors are having difficulty finding the HWR. The following link 
gives good directions to the refuge.
