Congratulations on the fellowship, Ken!! How very wonderful and happy for you! Surely, Dick is smiling down on his student. I loved the snowy high desert photos. Beautiful and unusual. Thank you for capturing the moment.

42! Turkeys are really interesting, but they really can try to take over feeder area. I hope they’ve moved on, and you get to see your other birds again. And congratulations again on the award!

Thanks Karen! it's been quiet for two days now, and the birds are returning! Waiting for the first Rufous Hummingbird!

Yes, congrats on the well-deserved fellowship! And for the reference to turkeys coming down to feed in single file. I saw that at the George Walker house in Paradise and didn’t know that it was a thing. Literal pecking order? They walked with a lot of dignity, like orchestral musicians in tuxes entering to take their seats.
