The hooded crane was not seen for the second day in a row at the Hiwassee
Wildlife Refuge in Meigs Co. at Birchwood. Several immature and adult bald
eagles
continue to be seen at HWR and from the overlook at the Cherokee Removal
Memorial Park. However, I have failed to see the 4 whooping cranes at
CRMP for a few consecutive visits over the past few days. Hundreds, if not
thousands of ducks were in the air, especially late on this rainy day. Hundreds
of sandhill cranes were also flying into the viewing area near dark, but the
overall number of sandhills seems to continue declining. Are any birders north
of Meigs Co. seeing northward bound sandhill cranes yet?
