I saw a juvenile DAR (direct autumn release) whooping crane from the viewing
gazebo at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs Co., Birchwood, this morning.
Additionally, two different pairs of adult bald eagles were in view at the same
time in trees with old ? heron ? nests. Wouldn't it make for great public
viewing if these two pairs were to 'renovate' those nests and raise young there
where anyone with good binoculars or viewing scopes can follow the action?
The International Crane Foundation provided a link to a good newspaper story on
whooping cranes in Illinois. Maybe these whoopers will soon be in Tennessee!
