Wild turkeys are active during the day and roost in trees overnight. They nest on the ground and the young turkeys (poults) are able to leave the nest shortly after hatching. They immediately begin foraging for insects, but stay in a brood with the hen until their flight feathers have developed. Because turkeys are large and active during daylight hours, they are often observed foraging for insects, grubs and seeds, their primary food source.

Side, Turkey.
I was still sitting by "The tree" when this masked shrike turned up. I was very pleased as these had eluded me in Greece and Cyprus on previous holidays. Another life tick.
ahhh, springtime in boston, and that can mean just one thing: migrating herds of wild turkeys, going to church.
We have four wild turkeys that frequent our yard several times a day. They are getting more accustomed to us being outside and don't run off when we open the door any longer.

While I was photographing the Turkey Vultures I could hear the calls of an Osprey. I was not able to put my eye on it until later when I was walking back to the truck and I spotted it as it flew away.

The Kusadasi castle is a symbol of this Aegean Turkish resort town. It's set on Pigeon island (which is btw not an island anymore, as it was connected to the mainland some 40y ago), and is visible from all over the area. The inner castle (the middle square cube) was built in 16c, while the surrounding fortifications were added later. Today they look very new and well preserved but that's due to renovation works.

Search and find.
Educate the women.
Even if you are hurt, don’t hurt.
Sages are pure sometimes purifiers.
First stage of attainment is modesty.
Whatever you look for, search in you.
Don’t forget even your enemy is human.
Control your hand, your word, your lust.
Beauty of human is in the beauty of his words.
Prophets and saints are God’s gift to humanity.
Road that doesn’t go through science is perilous.
Don’t try to find faults neither in nation nor individual.
How nice to ones who put light in the darkness of thought.
Don’t do anything to anyone if you don’t want it to be done to you.
Peace be with you!
Haci Bektas Veli

Do you know if Turkey has maple trees? While the shape of this leaf is slightly different, it is striking similar to Canadian maple tree.

Az efezoszi Odeon vagy Bouleuterion, színházhoz hasonló építmény kő padsorain 1500-an foglalhattak helyet. A talált felirattöredékekből tudjuk, hogy Vedius Antonius idején, i. sz. 150 körül építették. Sok érv szól amellett, hogy rendeltetése nem, vagy nemcsak színház volt, mivel olyan intézmények között foglalt helyet, mint a mellette álló városháza és a vele szemben elterülő állami agora. Az is feltételezés, hogy valamikor felülről befedett lett volna, mivel semmi nyomát nem találták a víz elvezetésének.

Most of us never think of Turkey Vultures as hunters, yet thy're classified as raptors. After years of watching these birds, sometimes four or five at one, soaring on thermals, I finally saw one on the hunt. Of course, he had to land behind a boulder with his prey. I'm not sure what the prey was; I'd have guessed a fish since we were at the slough, but maybe he was just scavenging. I'll never know. I didn't have the patients to stand in the cold damp air for 20 minutes while he enjoyed himself. As I turned away to head back to the bridge, I saw that he was joined by which I thought was a female (larger than him). I can always go back into the archives to be sure, but sometimes it's just as well not to care.
A raptor? Yes. Turns out that the sharped hooked beak and the fact that it actually hunts as well as living off carrion makes it a "bird of prey" and according to Cornell, is classified as a raptor. It's nearest relative, btw, is the Black Vulture.
