Thanks James Brooks for your "turkey talk" and also for your erudition on
the eating and migrating habits of Parasitic Jaegers.

Another bird curiousity item...no less than nine male goldfinches in full
bright yellow plumage are on my feeder just beyond my window. Would the
young have such bright colors so soon? ...or is this a "bachelor pod"
cruising for goldfinch chicks and knocking back a few sunflowers?
Seriously, surely it's too soon for them to be forming flocks......
