First up, a PSA that Presque Isle State Park was re-opened to vehicular traffic Friday/yesterday just around 12:20PM, for the first time since being closed last Friday due to the snowstorm/blizzard:
Main roads are plowed and in good condition:
Most trails are covered in thick snow, but portions of the multipurpose trail have been cleared:
Lots of great bird activity Friday. While waiting on photo editing, it’s back to Thanksgiving morning with part 2 of Wild Turkey shots. “Pavo” = Spanish for “turkey,” w/ perhaps a Latin root considering the scientific name Meleagris gallopavo.
Not the best perspective since the Turkeys flew away down the road (startled by something, unclear exactly what), but still great to see this many in flight at once:
Let’s hope they observed the 24MPH speed limit! Flying turkeys, indeed!
The photo shoot was monitored by the American Humane Society. “No turkeys were harmed.”
