More cicadas = more turkey food. Looking at the poults/hen numbers in cicada years is really fascinating.
The periodical mass emergence of cicadas in eastern North American forests can “rewire” forest food webs and initiate a cascade of ecological impacts that propagates throughout the food chain, according to a new Science study. 📄: https://t.co/Kd5bRrQOXf

With winter around the corner, fall is critical for turkeys to build fat reserves and gain weight. Seeds, grasses, fruits, and nuts help fuel their engines, and getting thru winter in prime shape is key to reproductive success in spring @NWTF_official @MossyOak

MIGRATION ALERT: More than 600 MILLION birds predicted for tonight! Given the tragic mass window collisions in Chicago (see our previous post), it's an important time to dim nonessential outdoor lights at night & make your windows safer for birds: https://t.co/CboDf0WiNr

It had been too long since I had to run code and also had a cat in the room. Never leave your laptop unguarded.
