Special campers

Some of you may have been lucky enough to see a celebrity couple at Camp Burgess and Hayward last summer. They are always seen in a pair, are very well dressed (a little tacky sometimes), the male is the real star of the show and they are imported from elsewhere. No it wasn't David Beckham and Posh Spice, but a pair of Wild Turkeys. Extinct in Massachusetts just 100 years ago, the State has undertaken a re-introduction program which in the last 30 years has seen them release birds from New York State. Hopefully the pair that have been around Camp will be around for summer 2008, especially with it being Thanksgiving tomorrow. Your best chance to see them is in the old orchard and farm area (next to the parking lot) at Camp Burgess, where they love to eat the seeds from the long grass.
