We all know that Higbee's can be great at peak migration, so the species count today of 25 may seem rather low; but you know, it's nice to be in at the very start of the season and to witness the gradual build-up of birds. The Wild Turkeys on New England Road were certainly a treat as they crossed the road in front of several of the cars heading in for the walk!
