I went for a morning walk in a wooded park yesterday morning. I like to go birdwatching, and I was hoping to find birds that I could not see in Japan. The first birds I heard were woodpeckers. They live in Japan, too. I heard one using its beak to make a hole in a tree. This is the way it finds insects to eat. Then I saw true American birds: wild turkeys! There were two hens with about 15-20 chicks (babies) in a field. There was also a mother deer with a fawn (a baby deer) there. What a great day! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
