I had a first in my 80 plus years of birding in the Upper Valley last Saturday.  In a small depressed field along the road from Goodrich Four Corners to Rte. 5 in Vermont there were five tom turkeys strutting with their tails in full upright fan shape.  I stopped mica and spotted a hen turkey feeding near them and seemingly oblivious to the five.  I use the word "seemingly" advisedly.


I was sorry not to have a camera with me because it was quite a sight.


Mike

Subject: [UVB] ISO birding scope and tripod

ISO a used birding scope and tripod.   A pair of peregrine falcons have returned to nest on Peaked Mountain in Piermont.  Does anyone have a used scope or tripod we could purchase or borrow for the season?
    They were actively checking out the old nest site, and we were able to observe mating behavior and the male providing food for the female who took what looked like a robin to a near-by dead tree to eat it.
     Thank-you,   Kristi
