Today at around 3 p.m. Dave and I came across a gaggle of Wild Turkeys north of Sharpe Line just west of Winslow Road where the hydro line crosses Sharpe Line. I counted over 180 birds and there may have been more. It is the largest group of wild turkeys I have ever seen.

Location: Sharpe Line just west of Winslow Road
Observer: Sherry and Dave Hambly
