Sat Nov 25 1:30 "Thanksgiving Walk"

Thanksgiving is a great time to take family and friends on a fall nature hike at Pheasant Branch Prairie!  Join Naturalist Paul Noeldner for an easy going guided outing and walk off some of that Thanksgiving dinner.  Did you know a Wild Turkey's red white and blue head can change colors like a chameleon?  Ben Franklin reportedly said Wild Turkeys should be our national bird instead of the Bald Eagle!  Help look for large 3-toed tracks, a big brown feather, and possibly some Wild Turkeys strutting about!  Did you know many people are switching to tofu turkeys to be kind to animals, and that eating more vegetarian can help reduce some large climate and environmental impacts of meat based diets?  What other birds and wildlife are you thankful to have in your world? What do you think the birds, bugs and wildlife are thankful for at this time of year?  See the Friends of Pheasant Branch Facebook page and http://tinyurl.com/MadisonFUNAdventures for a Map and Fun Facts about Turkeys and other birds and wildlife in fall.
