I saw a female wild turkey in Bedford Reservation this morning. It was leading seven very large immature birds through the woods. A tom was following them. It did a brief display strut with all of its feathers spread out. But, the uninterested female just led her youngsters away. The male followed them. I saw a pair of white-breasted nuthatches exploring cavities. I saw a large number of either downy or hairy woodpecker feathers on the forest floor under some hemlocks. There were some big splats of white droppings, too. I think some bird of prey had a woodpecker meal. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
