On Mother's Day last week, I visited the Marshlands Conservancy Park in Rey, NY for the first time. Lots of trails in the wooded area. A sign on the trail past the visitor center says "Nature is Neat, but Sure is not Tidy" which I thought was funny. The meandering trails allowed for a slow commune with nature. Off-the-path, I saw one of the largest fallen trees good for sketching. So I made my way near it and settled into place. Minutes later, something stirred from the ground. It was a Wild Turkey! She was taking a break from incubating 5 of her eggs I spied from about 12 feet away. Good that I was able to capture her on video but I never dared disturb her peace.
Looks like a nice place for hiking and sketching. Love the tree sketches and the turkey story.
