Not yet.

At least, I ain't caught them at it yet.  Listened yesterday and the day before.  Was expecting to hear gobbling birds.  But no.

Song sparrows are singing spring songs.  Back yard slap full of bluebirds.  A barred owl going at it.  But no toms, yet.  First gobble was Feb. 15th last year.  Gotta be coming soon.

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Talked to a guy last night that is also in Armstrong......about a mile off Rte 66/28.  He's heard them at his place, so......

This stupid wind, though !!!  Seems every morning for the last 2-3 weeks its been howling most days.  Couldn't hear a train.......

Quiet on the other end of the county.

Heard some gobbling this morning on SW PA. Nothing crazy, but a few gobbles on the roost.

Yep.  pretty aware of that.  But, it's been almost a whole year since I got to take my coffee cup for a walk and just LISTEN to that GLORIOUS sound !!!!!!!!!

Been at this long enough that I could probably tell you within 25 yards where they gonna be roosted on April 29th if I never went out a single day.

Just LOVES o hear tha sound !!!!!!!
