Greetings---among the wild turkey flock visiting my backyard today were 2 displaying males. The group numbered ~40 this morning, the most yet this winter.  Some of these birds have become quite tame.  Watching the behavior of the turkeys has been very interesting.  Squirrels and the usual feeder birds aren't the only ones watching me put out seed.  Some of the turkeys have reminded me of foraging shorebirds, defending little feeding territories or standing on only one leg.  Titmice and cardinals have already begun singing.  Before too long the earliest migrants should be showing up!   Craig in Poland Twp., Mahoning Co.
