Following the apparent migration of hundreds of sandhill cranes to the south
earlier in the day, the overall numbers of sandhills at Hiwassee Wildlife
Refuge late in the day seemed to be noticeably smaller. However, there were
still at least hundreds of sandhills present late in the day as viewed from the
Cherokee Removal Memorial Park in Meigs County at Birchwood. Two whooping
cranes were definitely identified over Hiwassee Island very late in the day
(5:30 - 5:40 PM) and a third whooper was likely present, but it was at a great
distance, and there was too little light left to be certain that it might not
have been a white pelican or snow goose.
