Not sure if you want this info, but here it is:
There is a group of 17 turkeys that reside there and come to the feeders
often, but we missed them.
Very interesting - saw "historical" trees - they keep them in plastic tubes
until large. Trees or seeds come from historical places.
Very interesting - saw a 300 year old Basswood tree, rotted out but still
alive.
Saw lots of "galls" - with little holes in them where the birds pecked the
insect larvae out.
