Happy Turkey day everybody. What? This picture isn't a turkey? Well . . . it will have to do. Though I've seen Wild Turkey this year, I've never taken a photo of one, so this Phesant is as pretty and close as you get.

Trying to get new species for the year(FOYs) has slowed way down, because I've either seen them already, or missed them before fall migration. More on misses for the year during the end of year recap.
Below is a list of Ohio winter birds I can get before the end of the year. Of course there can be rarities that show up out of now where, or a state away. We shall see.
Need list: no particular order
- Cackling Goose
- Northern Saw-whet Owl
- Snowy Owl
Short earred Owl--12/1- Lesser Black-backed Gull
- Thayers Gull--would be a lifer
- Iceland Gull--would be a lifer
- Glauscous Gull
Purple Finch--12/20- Northern Shrike
- Long earred Owl
- Vesper Sparrow
This puts my #BIGYEAR2014 number at #352 for the year!!
