(Editor’s note: the
nest box does not look particularly inviting this morning, with a layer of ice
pellets within the nest. However, the peregrine falcon couple knows, as we do,
that it's all about to change.)

**Yvette Richard was
extremely surprised to have a turkey join her patrons at her Cocagne
feeder yard on Wednesday, especially as she had never seen one in the area
before.
As a side note, coming
back from Shediac later Wednesday afternoon, at the turn off to Cocagne Cape to
join Route 530, Yvette saw another turkey along the road that entered the ditch
and disappeared.
Perhaps it was the same
one at her feeders, but very odd seeing two on the same day at different
locations.
(Editor’s note: The jury
is still out as to whether we can truly call turkey observations wild this far
from the Maine border, but the number of observations is suggesting the
possibility exists or is about to. Wild or not, it always gives a rush to
observe a turkey in a wild setting.)
