    This was yesterday evening. I counted 11 turkey total. If you know what you're looking for, there's 9 or 10 in this picture.

    It's always such a thrill to see a pileated woodpecker. I have only seen them a couple of times even though I do have some that live in my area.

    We have a Ruffed Grouse that has taken up residence on our property. We've designated it a she although in reality we have no clue but she is pretty fearless. She's been wandering all over our property daily for at least close to two months now.

    I'm yet to see them land on it. Flying away is the easy part.
