[Mnbird] Washington County birding & an aggressive turkey

[Kyle TePoel]

Searched for ducks and shorebirds today in central Washington County,
finding modest variety of waterfowl (Horned Grebe being my favorite of the
day) and only one definite species of non-Killdeer shorebirds (Greater
Yellowlegs, at three different spots), with a possible, but very distant,
Spotted Sandpiper that I lost sight of.

Did have some other personal firsts for the year though, including
Broad-Winged Hawk, Blue-Winged Teal, Swamp Sparrows.

There seemed to be a decent amount of raptor migration happening today;
many kettling Red-Tails, Cooper's, and the previously mentioned Broad-Wing.

At home, I've been contending with a turkey constantly poking its head into
my doors. I've had robins, chickadees, and other smaller birds do this on
windows, car doors, etc., but never a turkey. I keep chasing it off, and it
keeps coming back. Anyone else ever have aggressive turkeys banging their
heads against windows/doors?
