My Column: State Line Hawk Watch
A view of State Line Lookout and the Hudson River beyond in Alpine. By Jim WrightSpecial to The Record |…
Last week I asked folks which bird this feather came from.
Rob Fanning and Patrick Carney had the correct answer: Wild Turkey feather.
(Congrats to Patrick and Rob, and a thank you to all who participated!)
Footnote: Turkey feathers were a Monday Morning mystery five years ago, when I found them in Greenbrook Sanctuary and noted: "We do get Wild Turkeys at the Celery Farm, but they are unusual."
How times change.
