Turkey Trot Field Trip

Thirteen people joined Tom Scribner on November 22 for the Annual Turkey Trot.  The day started out bright and sunny and ended up pouring rain.  There were no turkeys found in Walla Walla County, but we able to find 93 of them in  Columbia County, mostly on Wolf Fork Road south of Dayton.  Interestingly, we almost saw more deer than turkeys, the final count for deer was 85.  We saw or heard a total of 27 species including northern shrike, great horned owl, varied thrush and hermit thrush.  It was a fun day despite the afternoon rain.  Thanks to Tom for another successful outing.
