Right healthy bird. Could almost pass for a turkey. Is that a sign of a hard winter to come??
That's a worry for sure. There's a group of 5 or 6 in this little area of the lake trail and at least 3 are this size. Also saw a lot of wooly caterpillars as the season began to turn; another harsh winter sign. UGH. I hope it's a myth this year.
What color were the woolies and were they banded?
Worst winter I can remember, the wooly worms were all different, but every one I saw was crawling south.
NiceSnowing today in Philadelphia. This is right outside my front door.
