Something peaceful about watching birds. After our January snow then ice, everything was sealed over, the birds were scratching everywhere for food. Dusted off a bird feeder my daughter left, filled it, there were always 6 genkos on it. Wild turkeys took over here after being reintroduced 20 years back, trouble is they pushed out the ring neck pheasants which are bunch more pleasant looking, loved their caw when they would fly across the valley. If ammo wasnt so high there would be a lot fewer turkeys around, have photographed 100 to 200 in a flock. A few miles distant is a lake what is part of the migrating flyway, in February we saw roughly 10,000 Canadian geese there.
