1. They are nesting in Rhode Island now

Never thought I would ever see that. Wild turkeys start showing up ten years ago and now they are all over New England. Wildlife adds so much to life. Very happy.

2. I never saw one in northern VA until about 20 years ago

Now, I see them nearly every day.

3. I have a family of eagles near me.

They are beautiful. One comes by the house in northern Michigan almost every day and rests for a few minutes in a pine tree next door.

4. What a coincidence. That's about the year I started going bald.

So glad about the eagles. I saw some visiting my daughter in Alaska.
A few Golden Eagles around here in SE Az.

5. Good news for these Majestic Eagles

Here, in SW Florida, we have a couple of cameras on their nests n can watch. We are surrounded by water n I love watching them thrive.

6. Thanks for posting that last one with Donald

I'm happy to hear about the Bald eagles. Someday I hope to see one soaring above. I think I saw one a few years ago, but was unsure, so I'm still waiting for one. We do have a hawk that soars overhead. We have to be careful of the little dogs, I'd die if he got one of our babies.

Anyway, you posted good news. Thank you!

7. I wonder when it's going to become legal to hunt Canada geese

They're all over the place these days.

(Not that I'd ever shoot one).

8. K&R, we need more of these majestic birds!

Especially in Florida.
