Friday late afternoon we drove along the Black Diamond - Ravensdale road
about a tenth of a mile E of Hwy 169 and a large bird with a bare head
was again sitting high in the same cottonwood along the road. This time
the light was better and I prevailed upon my carpool to stop, and the
bird was a turkey. I felt a bit like a turkey as well, having reported
it last week as a turkey vulture. We took a couple photos of its
silhoutette. It was nervous about our presence and hopped up a couple of
branches but didn't flush. It appeared to have some blue on it's head
but the light was not very good.
