Who is this? Was posted on our FB page by Will. It's Toronto!

All I know is that it's so high up, the picture gives me vertigo!

I've never had a picture do that before! It's a beautiful picture, but those glass balcony walls... whooo!

She bowed, DC squeaked, and everybody's staying put for the moment.

I haven't gotten any tweets from this morning. ????

Have you gotten anything since then?

This was a more typical vocalization exchange - B didn't yell!

B is staying put, DC flew off...

Shaky fixed the problem ~10:50.
B in box since 9:44, foot looks to be improving.

He honked like a goose, B in on eggs after he left, but no chatting with the eggs this time.

Thank you for posting that video. I really don't understand why so many people are freaked out by bats, and this video reinforces my belief that they really are cute. Perhaps not cuddly, but definitely beautiful, if toothy, creatures.

The Narragansett Turkey is a breed of Meleagris gallopavo which descends from a cross between the Eastern Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) and the domestic turkey brought to Colonial America by English and other European colonists beginning in the 17th century. According to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, the Narragansett Turkey is a "historic variety, unique to North America" and is named for Narragansett Bay

This is what I found

Not sure if it's the same as yours!

Unfortunately, I couldn't get any closer, and the zoom function made everything blurry...
I was taking the pictures from across the canal, and after reviewing my pictures, I don't see the really white one that first caught my attention. I believe s/he had already disappeared down the opposite bank by the time I got my camera out. 

Coming down the road, I originally thought they might be turkey vultures, but when I got out of the car, I started talking to them to get their attention, and was greeted with a melodious and rousing concert of "gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble!" Definitely not vultures.

I hope this is the right place to post this...

You can't get much closer than this!



(Concerning the 'motley crew' on the far side of the tower, insert monty python caption here...  )

All kidding aside, incredible captures! 

I was coming home along the Erie Canal well west of Rochester, and spotted an unusual groups of turkeys on the opposite bank. I am uncertain as to whether there were eight or nine, but three of them were predominantly white/grey. Possibly this is a recessive trait, but I was hoping someone here might have more informaiton. Cornell Lab does not have any pictures that I can find.

Any input would be appreciated. (The clearest picture doesn't show all of them, and I just have a Kodak point and shoot, used from a looong ways away.)

Much higher quality video with no commenting other than by the on-deck warriors...
2012 Falcon Banding

The amazing flight skills - see the screen capture below from the slow-motion at the very end. Her tail is sideways, while her wings are upright!

How wonderful that one of Belle's offspring is being named Unity!  This video is awesome.  Those birds don't mess around. They hit the wooden shields, and hit the hard hat wearing person!   They do protect their young. 

It is interesting to think that such 'deadly force' is used in a 'robbery' where jewelry is added and not taken way...

One would hope that their talons don't get scraped up by hitting the wood or plastic - just the thought of high-speed slivers makes me wince!

However, seeing the aeronautical skill she uses to fly through the arch without hitting the wall after she hit the hard-hat? That's impressive!
