Subject: Re: [TN-Bird] Strange Sandhill Crane in Knoxville
I was in North Knoxville for cataract surgery and afterwards we drove over
to the Kroger’s and the crane was in the field to the left of Kroger’s about
10:00. Looks fine walking around feeding. Took a phone picture. Every year
when Ivisit my cousin in Venice she has SH cranes in her yard. They don’t fly
off when approaching them. This may be a south Florida heading To the
breeding grounds. 😊

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.
