He was spotted today (Tuesday) in the 500 block of South Johnson where he has taken up residence since July.

The fancy click is alert, fast running, and high flying, which helps him escape predators. He survived Thanksgiving....turkeys are the favorite food then. He has weathered wind, snow, and cold the past couple of weeks.
