I went to Towners Woods today 6/17 (side note my birthday). I found the all the bird species which Mr. Bennett posted a day ago. Towner Woods is located on Co. Rd. 145 and Co. Rd. 154 Sec. 53, Franklin Twp. Weather conditions, overcast with a little/ mist rain, winds 10-15 mph from the NW., temp. 60s. Birds observed: Prothonotary Warbler out on the first peninsula (behind the Indain mount) was working the upper branches and canopy of the pines. Had to listen for the call, then the individual showed itself. Northern Cardinal Blackcapped Chickadee(m&f) ( had a nest just above the water on Lake Pippen, had young in the nest). Tufted Titmouse (m&f, feeding there young near the water and up into forest surrounding the lake), (I watch them feed there young for several minutes) Heard American Robins in the woods Field Sparrow along the gravel bike path Song Sparrow Catbird No sighting but heard by call great crested flycatcher creeper pileated woodpecker pine warblers The last bird seen today was a Wild Turkey near the picnic area back a little ways down the path. And this is a first for me, I was chased and prey upon by the hen wild turkey. She (individual) chased me for about 500ft away from her nest (I want to say it was nest). There is more to the story, and is definitely one for the books. See you in the field, Jeremiah W.
