Bird Prints- Ashtabula County-Rock Creek

American Tree Sparrow Wing Prints
American Tree Sparrows migrate to Ohio from Northern Canada in the fall and winter. They are usually found foraging in flocks in low bushes or on the ground. In snowy areas, they will hit weeds with their wings and then collect the fallen seeds from the snow.

Turkey Foot Prints
Wild turkeys are found in hardwood forests with scattered openings, swamps, grassland. Turkeys are active during the day, roosting in trees from sundown until sunrise. In the winter they feed on sensitive fern, waste corn, and fruits such as barberry, rose hips, and dried apples.
