About 3:45 PM today I heard, then sighted, about 25 sandhill cranes apparently
gliding in to land near Hiwassee Island on the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in
Birchwood (Meigs County). I had thought I heard a few Saturday evening and
early this morning, but this is the first-of-season crane observation for me.
