A local birder posted a sighting of a whopping crane in a Kroger parking lot
off Emory Rd in Knox County around 6:30 tonight with an accurate description. I
ran out to take a look and sure enough there is a lone crane walking around the
parking lot. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it is not white. It is a sandhill
crane which seems to be very healthy and alert. But it is also very tame
letting people get within 10 feet to photograph. Possible escapee from
somewhere I guess.
