Steve, a friend of mine from the first church I served in Madisonville, TN, and I traveled to the Hiawassee River Crane Reserve last week. The weather was great and a lot of the Sandhill Cranes were still on the reserve. It is about an hour and a half from my house, so pretty accessible most anytime. It would be even better to have a kayak there as there are miles of lake shore and lots of birding along the mudflats that dot the river. I’m sure there will be more birds from that area in future TLT posts.
This immature eagle was a long way away as he landed on a bit of dinner.
W-B Nuthatch makes an appearance too!
