It could be anytime past
that you brought back
and left to us
incubating hundreds
of turkey eggs,
illegally eliminating
as many predators
to keep a few alive
to become ‘street smart—’
at home in the wild.
You made the rules
you lived by
surviving yet beyond
your fences, ever
since you’ve been gone.
for Gary Davis
The reintroduction of the wild turkey is great. The sad part is most will never see or hear them, as it seems all live on private property. Owners have provided better habitat than nature

Los Angeles: Last Push to Stop the Tunnels
Metropolitan Water District (MWD) wants to build a project known as the “twin tunnels” or the misnamed “California Water Fix.” These water tunnels would be built in Northern California to benefit corporate agriculture interests, but would cost us in SoCal billions and wouldn’t provide a drop of new water for our communities!
These tunnels would drain the money we need to actually fix our water system.
Our local cities have struggled for decades to fund real, 21st-century water solutions. We know that instead of throwing money into these tunnels we need to:
Fix the aging pipes and water infrastructure beneath the city
Reduce our dependence on imported water to create a more reliable and cost-effective water supply in SoCal
Clean up our groundwater basins
Do more to conserve water
Invest in stormwater capture and recycling.
