Traveling to HAG via ALT RT 40 SAT in the early afternoon, i spotted this flock composed of at least 4 toms among a total of at least 16 birds, just south of the I-70 overpass in a field to the west side of the road where I have observed turkeys in the past.  They were in full view, but as they were not immediately adjacent to the road, i suspect they not observed by many.  I first put them "down" as vultures, but changed my mind and came back for a second look.  They were actively scratching among the corn stubble when i moved on.

Not much worth mentioning in the yard except to note that siskins continue although in reduced numbers as evidenced by the dramatic drop in seed consumption.  WWCB look like they will bypass my yard in spite of an abundance of pine cones in four mature evergreens :(
