At random: In World War II the Germans lost 782 submarines, the Japanese lost 130, Great Britan and Commonwealth countries lost 88 subs, Russia lost 110 submarines and the United States lost only 52 submarines. Twenty-three of the Japanese subs lost were victims of the American Submarine Service.

About 0730. Looking west from the house.

One tom and eleven hens.

He had earlier been all fanned out. In turkey speak it probably went
something like "hey girls, want some of this?"

I think spring may be on the way.

Great to see ya'll have turkey that far north. My first job after graduating from college was with the US Forest Service Northeastern Forest Experiment Station in Morgantown, WV. I worked closely with the Biologist conducting research on the wild turkey. At that time (1969-74) wild turkey were limited to eastern mountains and other remote areas. Since then they have repopulated much of the country, thanks to efforts by Biologists in transplanting and habitat management.
One day last spring wife and I were gazing out living room windows watching birds when we saw 3 hens with thier broods strool into yard. We lost count at 30 turkeys.
They are indeed a magnificant bird.
ENJOY!

When I moved to Delaware in 1974 I used to see Turkeys up around Coatsville, PA and Kennett Square, PA. I haven't seen a one since the 90s. I did see about a dozen last year while golfing south of Pittsburgh. They were marching up the fairway behind the guy I was golfing with. I told him about a dozen were some 50ft behind him and were following him. He told me I was full of s&^t but then turned around. The Turkeys did a right flank march right into the trees. He'd never seen that many Turkeys on his home course. Quite a sight.
