November 20 was the Turkey Trot led by our President, Tom Scribner. We always have a great time on this trip and this year was no exception as 17 enthusiastic birders spent the day searching for wild turkeys. We found lots of them - in Walla Walla and Columbia counties. Our total count was 291! Other highlights included 10 great horned owls, a barn owl, a northern shrike, 5 varied thrushes, several huge covey of quail, and over fifty red-tailed hawks. Watching the full moon come up over the wheat fields north of town was a perfect ending to a great day. Ginger
