The local birds (year round residents) start nest building in February, so it’s very active. I figure they want to get a brood in before the summer residents arrive in April. Probably doesn’t apply to the ground birds like turkeys, but we already had one 100 degree day in February, so for them Spring is here!

We had a nice morning sky at the new house a couple of days ago.

I am taking mostly boring construction pictures these days, but yesterday I used ChatGPT to create this image of a water feature for the shaft wall.

A couple of days ago the motion detector at my front door went off. It was a flock of turkeys crossing my front yard.

Wild Turkeys have rebounded so much over the past decades. When we first moved here there were no turkeys at all the in the nearby park. It wasn’t until maybe 2017/2018 that we would occasionally see them along the canal that separates the park from the surrounding area. Then a year or so later they moved into the park and have thrived since, we have a huge number of them now. At first they were very wary of humans. When DH passed one on his bicycle it would freak and try to outrun him! Now they are totally used to people, bicycles, whatever, very calm. The park is closed to private vehicles. So these turkeys have finally returned - they are the Rio Grande subspecies of Wild Turkey, so it’s important that they be here.

Caught him after a feeding swim the other morning, I'm pretty sure he is not frightened by me walking by and taking a photo being within 15 feet of him.

I see a lot of these guys here at the headwaters of the Rock River, which flows through Wisconsin and Illinois to the Mississippi River at the Quad Cities. At a distance they're easily confused with the giant sandhill crane, but you can tell them apart in flight because the heron tucks in his head.
