Tuesday, July 25: Wild Turkeys have been widely reported in the Ojibway area this spring and summer while Ring-necked Pheasants continue to be present in low numbers. A Wild Turkey was reported today by the southern edge of the nature reserve by Mary Montsch. Park visitor's often see one or two hummingbirds at the centre's feeders. In fact there are many hummingbirds that regularly visit our feeders. Banders from Holiday Beach Migration Observatory have banded nine adults this month and soon there will be fledged young to add to their numbers.
