Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
See anything interesting in this photo taken behind Allendale's historic Fell House last week?
(The Celery Farm was once a bog on John Fell's property.)
The answer, as several turkey-eyed readers pointed out, is at least one Wild Turkey (with tail feathers spread out, middle-right). Diane Louie said there could be a poult "behind" the greenery, and she could be right.
The shot below left shows another turkey nearby. There were at least eight of them wandering around the outside of the Fell House last week. (And many other weeks.)
