[EBB Sightings] Turkey march continues

Considering the extensive spread of Wild Turkeys in the East Bay, I 
don't suppose the Contra Costa Breeding Bird Atlas much resembles the 
state of the bird.  It doesn't show turkeys breeding in Pinole, but 
that was many turkeys ago.

For what it's worth, this afternoon (Thurs, May 28), we saw a 
half-size fuzzy-white-headed turkey chick on the path at San Pablo 
Bay Regional Shoreline in Pinole.  Two adult birds came running when 
the chick started peeping and herded it back into the brush.

Before January, 2008, I had never seen a Wild Turkey in the East 
Bay.  Nowadays, I see (or at least hear) them at most of the local 
regional parks (Sobrante Ridge RP, Pt Pinole RS, Carquinez Strait RS, 
and now San Pablo Bay RS).

Good birding,
