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…
My birding column in The Record today is on Wild Turkeys in our region, and their amazing comeback.
The link is here. I should note a boo-boo in the column. At one point I talk about wild turkeys running at speeds of up to 55 mph. They actually can run at speeds up to 20-25 mph — which is still a lot faster than me.
The Wild Turkeys in the photo are the pair that has been seen in Rutherford since this summer — photo courtesy of Jaimie Winters of The South Bergenite.
