Some of the at least 170 visitors to the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs Co. at Birchwood saw the hooded crane in the morning. I don't know exactly when it was first seen in the morning nor how long it was in view then. I do know that it flew into view before 9:10 a.m. and disappeared from view at 10:30 a.m. It was not always seen during that time period. It returned to the green field in front of the gazebo at 6:05 p.m. Visitors from 9 states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Mississippi, and Washington, were present at HWR today.Thanks to Starr Klein who collected visitor information for over 6 hours.
