Hatchie NWR
Haywood Co, TN
I met Mike Todd at daybreak this morning and he had arrived a little before
me and pointed out the caramel and white immature Whooper, perched out in the
middle of the lake with 3 Great Egrets. Shortly after it got light enough to
take a few distant photos, a mature Bald Eagle spooked everything as it
swooped over the lake. Mike had seen an immature fly over just before I got
there.
The Whooping Crane flew to the far south end of the lake but turned high in
the sky and flew back and landed right it front of the pier where we were
standing. After a few quick photos we had to move back 75 feet in order to take
some digiscope shots. Mike has some really fine photos which he will share
tonight. In the mean time here are three of mine and I'll add more
tonight...........Got to go to work!
