Tim & I headed to Wayne Co to look for the yellow-headed blackbird. Dipped, as the Brits would say, on the blackbird. (Sorry about that, I have just finished reading The Biggest Twitch; it rubs off.) But we did see 2 Am. Pipits, right along the road at the intersection of Welty Rd. & Lautenschlager Rd., northeast of the town of Applecreek. Also had 16 Red-tailed Hawks, 2 Rough-leggeds, 3 Cooper's & 2 Kestrels. Maybe the Wilds raptor field trip should have been held in Wayne Co. instead! On the way home, we came across 31 Wild Turkeys on Georgetown Rd, about 1 mile west of RT 44, (between Louisville & E. Canton.) They were feeding in a field just west of Beck Rd. at an oil tank battery. We were able to park next to the tanks so that they could not see us & so watch them quite closely for about 10 min. They were still there when we left. What a way to end a very nice birding outing.
