Sunday January 22nd – Turkey in a Tree

          Today we stayed closer to home and went to Wildwood Metropark and saw two turkeys perched high in a tree.  This was a strange sight, but we were happy to see our first Wild Turkeys of the year.  Apparently, there is a small flock of turkeys that have been seen at the feeders eating seed on the ground.

          While looking at the turkeys, I heard a distant Pileated Woodpecker calling and we were lucky to see it when it flew in closer to us.  Several days later Mike got a tip about where to find an Eastern Screech Owl in a nest box at Wildwood.  We returned and got to see him too.  No Pileated pictures because the camera was still on the fritz!
