I find the eagle and turkey each magnificent in their own way.<br /><br />We've been fortunate in the past two weeks to have located 24 Red-shouldered Hawk nesting sites! The population here appears to be robust.<br /><br />Hope the weekend finds you well.Wally Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121368850135565674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-43301299914446515062016-04-22T08:59:54.397-07:002016-04-22T08:59:54.397-07:00Yes...you all tried your absolute best!

When I lived in Brooklyn, NY, there were wild parrots --yes, parrots--nesting in electrical transformers in our neighborhood. It helped them survive the winters. I blogged about it years ago. I hope those beautiful turkeys survive the hunt!

We do eventually catch up don’t we? <br /><br />Your question is easily answered by me – the Bald Eagle for sure – a majestic creature wild and free and one (mostly) respected by us humans and not seen as a source of food? <br /><br />I am so pleased that the Wild Turkeys you show are truly wild. They certainly look it in keeping their distance from your lens.<br /><br />That’s a heartening story about the Power Company and it’s good to see that there are other people who care enough to take time out to help our wildlife.<br /><br />I’m sorry to hear that you not 100%, but stick with it and keep up the good work of sharing and caring. <br />Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-27392340761201791082016-04-19T03:34:28.517-07:002016-04-19T03:34:28.517-07:00Very interesting, Good to have moved the hot wire....Very interesting, Good to have moved the hot wire.
