Tennessee Aquarium Curator of Forests Kevin Calhoon is an avid birder whose pursuit of his hobby has taken him all over the world. A tremendously popular activity, birding has millions of American eyes peeled and ears perked on the hunt for new birds to add to their list of observed species.

The Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge lies on Chickamauga Lake about 30 miles north of Chattanooga. Calhoon takes a tour of this special place and explains why it's so popular with birders, from its high concentration of Bald Eagles and enormous flocks of White Pelicans to its role as a stopping off point for thousands of migrating Sandhill Cranes.
