Vicki You¹ve done a fabulous job of capturing the exciting beauty and natural history of Sandhill Cranes. Thank you for the historical context of the Eastern population and Tennessee¹s role during the non-breeding season. Thank you also for including information about upcoming TN Sandhill Crane Festival January 19th and 20th at the Hiwassee Refuge. Dang, you¹re a great writer!

A special "thank you" to Louise for this wonderful visibility for the festival. Visit the following link to see the intro to the article and information about the sandhill crane festival. A second link will take you to the full article. http://www.tn.gov/environment/tn_consv/ The article spans four beautifully designed pages, and includes six full color images, including one of my watercolor images of sandhill cranes landing. You can take a peek at the spreads in my blog post: http://vickiehenderson.blogspot.com/ As you know, sandhill cranes are already arriving at the refuge thanks to several TN-Bird reports. Visit the TN Conservationist magazine article for a sneak preview and put the festival on your calendar!
