TURKEYS!!!<br /><br />The Turkeys which are now very abundant and prolific in San Diego County were originally from a stock relocated from the midwest and they didn't fare so well. It wasn't until a biologist introduced the Rio Grande Turkey from Texas that they bred and interbred with the first remnants that success exploded. Those turkeys can apparently take more heat and dry climate. <br /><br />Back in 2011 when my wife and I visited, we were driving Hwy S-2 in San Diego county which runs between Scissors Crossing south of Julian and Hwy 78 to the town of Ocotillo next to Interstate 8. Somewhere on the desert floor below Mount Laguna between Box Canyon and Vallecito Creek in a Mesquite Bosque, we actually saw a whole flock of those Turkeys down in the desert. Who would have thunk it ?<br /><br />Cheers, Kevin<br /><br /><br />-Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-47816622033355114502013-10-16T02:49:45.706-07:002013-10-16T02:49:45.706-07:00Wow, October the North Rim is close to closing soo...Wow, October the North Rim is close to closing soon. I remember seeing wild turkeys in those long grassy meadows. And I can't believe you could find one of those skunk looking Kaibab Squirrels. <br /><br />*smile*Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-53318769183643941502013-10-13T20:46:16.492-07:002013-10-13T20:46:16.492-07:00Beautiful and well said! :o)Beautiful and well said! :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-58033592113050854662013-10-13T15:31:17.619-07:002013-10-13T15:31:17.619-07:00Brilliant mix of reflection on life, poetic words,...Brilliant mix of reflection on life, poetic words, and great nature photos.

The result is that there are many among the birdwatching community that despise the Grey Squirrel - but I'm not one!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-79240650542361561482013-10-13T09:00:06.160-07:002013-10-13T09:00:06.160-07:00Very well-written, Chris.
