This extraordinary concentration of Tennessee’s tallest birds occurs every November through February, and viewing is always open to the public at the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency’s Hiwassee Refuge in East Tennessee.

There will be guides with spotting scopes at the Refuge to help visitors view the cranes and other wildlife, speakers, workshops, films, and children’s activities at the Birchwood Elementary School, and special Native American presentations at the nearby Cherokee Removal Memorial Park.
