6 While out in the woods today on a reconnoitering party I saw three turkey cultures. Later on while marching in leading a patrol I spied off from back of the nest. I stopped long enough to see their speck eggs and traged to pass by. This afternoon I returned and after a long search found the nest. The bird flushed at a long distance and so I went off to let her come back. She did not return so I repeatedly searched the ground and finally found it. It is only a depression near a bushy weed, made of dead ashes like surrounding ground. Two speck eggs - my supposedly - anyways I left them. The bird flushed by running both times. However she gave the quest away by crawling and creeping about 20ft from me. Also found a Bluebird nest in a box back of a firebox with several eggs. I hope to collect the set late this evening.
