The hooded crane was seen at about 10:35 this morning and again at about 2:15 
p.m. at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs Co. at Birchwood. VERY large 
numbers of sandhill cranes were also in view. Maybe they like this "fowl" 
weather! (I know cranes aren't 'fowl,' but you needed to smile didn't you?) 


Hopefully the hooded crane will be visible during the Tennessee Sandhill Crane 
Festival this coming Saturday and Sunday. The festival headquarters will be at 
Birchwood Elementary School. Shuttle buses will take you to the HWR because 
parking will NOT be allowed there, except for handicap parking. Shuttle buses 
will also go to the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park. Buses will run about every 
15 minutes all day. 


Some out-of-staters still need help with directions to the HWR. A really good 
description of how to get there can be found at:
