Tweets,



My wife and I saw a wild turkey off Rt 9 near Snohomish yesterday evening.
The Washington Birder list for Snohomish County does not show Wild Turkey.

Brian,



As there is no Wild Turkey on the King County list this might indicate a
colonization event from an introduction somewhere else, or a local
introduction. Definitely worth a follow up.

Subject: [Tweeters] Correction: Black Diamond turkey vulture was a turkey



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.
