Field Notes

Notes:

I had no idea turkeys took their young into the trees. I don't see how the little one made it into the tree (at least 15ft up). At first I thought I was seeing leaves that looked like a face and upon closer examination you can actually see the young turkey (poult). Pretty neat!
