I was surprised to see a cloudless sky at 5:00 this morning. I waited around until 7:00 to give Susie her insulin and headed to State Game Lands 247. I saw a number of turkeys during my trek. I heard and saw a longbeard gobbler, several hens and a flock of 8-10 birds of mixed sex and ages. I saw a red-tailed hawk and a broad-winged hawk too. At the SGL pond, I saw two great blue herons, a pair of rufous-sided towhees and a lone Canada goose. I did get a few photographs of this array of bird life . Fortunately, I only removed two ticks from my pants
on this jaunt.
The autumn olive blossoms are beginning to send out their fragrant aromas. The only negative things about the SGL grounds are the ticks and the extreme over-abundance of the multifloral rose.
