In this archived broadcast from May 5, 1992, John Weeks talks about some of the previous interviews that he has had and the knowledge that he has learned over the past ten years. He talks about how spring takes over 6 months to generate and run's its course. The bluebird is ranked the first in wildlife and then the deer is followed by it. After he talks about Spring for a little while he mentions that he had a regular listener who said he wanted to hear more about turkeys. Weeks says that he has had several recent encounters with Turkeys and they are native to this part of the country. He then tells more about Turkeys and how they have been part of his life recently.
