Hi Everyone,
I know turkeys aren't rare, but in the 30 plus years I've lived in this area I've never seen one down here. I heard it a couple of weeks ago briefly. This morning I heard it again, and Merlin picked it up. On the way back from my walk between Bascom Ave and Leigh, it gobbled again further up stream, and then there it was, not a stones throw from the Bascom Ave overcrossing.
I figured it must have taken a wrong turn somewhere? Has anyone seen a turkey in this area before? I'm curious.
