I visited the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge and Cherokee Removal Memorial Park 
viewing areas in Meigs County for a couple of hours Thursday afternoon. One 
immature bald eagle and a harrier hawk were the highlights at the HWR. At the 
CRMP, the sightings included: one mute swan, at least three immature bald 
eagles, an osprey, about 75 sandhill cranes, numerous ring-billed gulls, and 
several great blue herons and cormorants. I sometimes mention numbers of 
wildlife watchers and where they are from in these postings because it is 
important that the various interested constituencies know that significant 
numbers of people are visiting these facilities and contributing to the economy 
of the region. Around a dozen visitors were there today.Of the  visitors I 
talked to, the one who lived at the greatest distance from Meigs County was 
from Murfreesboro.
