[cobirds] Ginormous rafter of Wild Turkeys in Morgan County

I am not sure what was bigger than "ginormous" or I would have used it. Maybe "giga-ginormous"?

While looking unsuccessfully for Eastern Bluebirds at a favored site in Morgan County today, Feb 12, I found myself

driving NW on Highway 144, which is northwest of Log Lane Village, which is just west of Fort Morgan.

I was stopped in my tracks at the intersection with road 13 at about 0930 by a rafter of Wild Turkeys. I counted by tens and got 130, first count.

They were gleaning corn from a large field in the bottom lands of the S. Platte River.

Upon returning by the same route a half hour later, I realized that I had missed the larger part of the rafter.

The count this time was 290. That is more than enough for one turkey a day between now and Thanksgiving, 

with giblets to spare.

In contrast to one or two of my messages from the distant past, I am serious this time. 

Joe Roller,
