5 Things: Geniuses Are Getting Smarter

Patch to all my lost boys.

1. Weather report: Today will be windy with rain early, with clouds remaining alongside afternoon showers. We should be looking at a high of 41 degrees. Rain and snow dominate the evening before things get overcast later in the night. Expect a low of 24 degrees.

2. Turkeys abound! NH Fish and Game is asking citizens to report sightings of wild turkey flocks this winter to help them collect data on winter flocks. Simply fill out their online survey on any turkey flocks seen from Jan. 1 through March 31, 2013. Citizens are asked to report the number of turkeys in the flock, where they were seen, the type of habitat the birds were observed in, and what the turkeys were feeding on, such as acorns, beechnuts, seed at bird feeders, or corn silage.
