This morning on the way in to work(about 07:20) I turned heading east
from going south on 101 on to McGinty Road just after going over the
railroad tracks and on the right side of the road was an adult Wild
Turkey with at least 4 chicks (officially called), they were right
on the edge of the road, I'm guessing picking some gravel for the old
gizzard..

I know that I've seen the Turkeys in this area all year so I'm guessing
the nested somewhere in the area close by...

[mou] Snowy Plover photos

[Laura Erickson]

When Don Kienholz and I went to Big Stone NWR yesterday, we didn't want to
get too close to the Snowy Plovers, and the light was glaring (it was hot,
too--make sure you bring water!).  So the photos I got weren't the best,
but they'll have to do.  I also posted what I think is our total day's
list and directions to the plovers at

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. 
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the
winter.

[mou] State Fair?

[Sharon Stiteler]

Is the MOU doing a booth at the State Fair this year?  Normally the  
request for volunteers is out by now.

[mou] State Fair?

[Sharon Stiteler]

What a bummer if the MOU isn't going to be at the State Fair!

I understand if no one is able to take up the lead.  Bob, you did a  
great job the last couple of years of putting it together.  I am  
really sorry to learn that the MOU won't be involved at the State  
Fair, it was such a great way to do public outreach, my voice was  
always hoarse at the end of each shift from talking to so many people.

Ok,
On my way home from work (the same way) in the same spot there were at 
least 3 adult
Turkeys on the side of the road in the exact same spot, no Poults this time...
