This year, for various reasons, I have not gotten out to hike in the park as much
as usual. Yet my wildlife sightings are doing quite well.
I normally see between fifteen and twenty American black bears a year while working and living seven months in Shenandaoh
National Park. Here is is halfway through the fifth month in the park and I have already seen twenty-one bears.
Here is my latest bear sighting on August 14:

I have seen more turkeys than usuall too. Within the last two weeks I have seen two flocks of turkeys,
one with very young chicks on July 27:
and another flock of turkeys with much larger chicks on August 14:
