Doing a bit of off-local-patch-birding today, Susan Jones and I headed down
to Funk Bottoms/Killbuck area. The draw of Amish restaurants may have
influenced our decision. It was a slow day for that area, with the biggest
disappointment of the day finding the Funk Country Store, closed. Fourteen
years of memories …
Two highlights were a Northern Mockingbird along Route 95 just outside Funk,
and the largest flock of Wild Turkeys either of us has ever seen. Just south
of the Wildlife Area Management office on Holmes Co. Rd 1, we counted 125
birds, and probably missed some. We stood on the hill above, watching them
graze like a herd of miniature bison.
