Upland Sandpiper
Wild Turkey
This spring we have been treated to numerous turkey sightings at Goose Pond Sanctuary. A flock of about 75 birds wintered 2.5 miles southeast of Goose Pond. Winter flocks spread out in early spring, and in the last week in April, we spotted a 11 gobblers in Hopkins Road Prairie near a stand of experimental elm trees on the UW Arlington Agricultural Research Farm.
