Few sandhill cranes were active at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge viewing area in 
Meigs Co. at Birchwood today. However, a few thousand were seen early in the 
day from the overlook  at the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park. They had roosted 
overnight on mudflats near Hiwassee Island. One whooping crane was among the 
sandhills. Four immature bald eagles were observed feeding on a dead sandhill 
crane at the HWR viewing area.
